Eagle Eye //reviews //writing
A promising opening (seen virtually entirely in the trailer) never resolves into a coherent big reveal and you are left with a nuts and bolt thriller and a tiny, slightly disappointed, voice in your head saying… “Seriously, a evil computer movie?”
The performances are watchable, elevating the movie from pure tripe to watchable – Billy Bob Thornton is good enough on screen that he’s not thinking only of his paycheque. The action is functional without being amazing but I left wondering why so much money had been spent on such a load of old eighties nonsense.
