Constantly getting phone calls from a mysterious woman who assist him in escaping and joins him with the also naive Rachel (Monaghan) who the caller has been instructing as well.

Reel Talk:

Eagle Eye is a combination of a lot of hi-tech suspense thrillers Enemy of the State, Conspiracy Theory and War Games to name a few. So there's not much originality here, but it's still an entertaining movie. This film is full of action pretty much from beginning to end, which will keep your attention. I just felt that the ending could have been a little better. It won't be long before LaBeouf moves from a junior action figure to a full fl edge action hero at the rate he is going (be looking for his follow up Transformer movie coming soon).
