Eagle Eye
Eagle Eye is a well-paced, action-packed popcorn movie up at the same level as most of Shia LeBouf’s other movies.
It had just enough mystery to keep a intellectual interest throughout the explosions, horrific deaths (though, of course, the rating meant they were off-screen), and originally awkward interaction between the two main characters.
While an attentive viewer will guess most of the “surprises” before they are revealed, the question as to how the movie will ultimately end makes up for any disappointment.
The acting was better than expected, the storyline as original as it could hope to be, and, all in all, it is certainly a movie I suggest to fans of action, Shia, or government conspiracies.
Jerry Shaw (Shia LaBeouf) returns home after the mysterious death of his successful twin brother.
He and a single mother, Rachel Holloman (Michelle Monaghan), find out that they have been framed as terrorists, and they are threatened into becoming members of a cell tasked to assassinate a politician.

Plot
Jerry and Rachel are two strangers thrown together by a mysterious phone call from a woman they have never met. Threatening their lives and family, she pushes Jerry and Rachel into a series of increasingly dangerous situations, using the technology of everyday life to track and control their every move.
Goofs
- Revealing mistakes: The music played by the children’s band includes several loud cymbal clashes, but there is no cymbal player in the band.
- Continuity: During the first chase scene, when Racheal is driving the black Porsche with Jerry, the glass on the driver side door repeatedly changes from cracked to normal to severely cracked.
- Factual errors: The gun Rachel takes off the dead soldier inside Eagle Eye is a Glock 19. The U.S. Military sidearm is a Beretta 92.
Factual errors: The scene supposedly set at the Dayton, Ohio Airport features a Hawaiian Airlines 767. Hawaiian doesn’t fly east of Phoenix.
Factual errors: The sound-activated bomb detonator in Sam’s trumpet is set to activate when it detects a sound of a particular frequency. The “Operation Guillotine” mastermind has set the detonator to activate when it detects the second F above middle C, with the intent that the bomb explode during the word “free” of the first verse of “The Star-Spangled Banner” (assuming the anthem is played in B-flat major, as it is in the film). The script writers apparently fail to realize that this note occurs earlier in the melody, at the point corresponding to the words “red glare.” A bomb set to detonate when it detected the note in question would have exploded at that point in the melody, especially given that Sam’s trumpet part has the melodic line throughout the performance and already played the note. In the film, however, the band and Sam play that part of the melody without incident.
