A young man and a single mom get tangled up in a terrorist cell plotting a political assassination.
Most critics burned this movie to the ground; I won't be doing that.
Yes, the plot has been seen before in various forms in other movies (Enemy of the State, The Net and I, Robot being the most obvious ones), but that does not mean that you aren't drawn into the story. Some say the Big Brother thing has been done to death; however, with all the technology that surrounds us today, the things we see in this movie have become more and more plausible and not just fiction. Of course, almost everything we see on the screen is blown out of proportion, but can anyone truly say our lives aren't out there in cyberspace? Is it really impossible for someone with unlimited access to all that data, to take over our lives or change vital information about us? If nothing else, this movie asks those questions and leaves you free to come up with your own answers.
Shia LeBeouf and Michelle Monaghan are an unlikely leading couple, but there definitely is some chemistry between them. Billy Bob Thornton is being superb as ever and Julianne Moore has one of the sexiest computer voices I have heard in a long time.
If you are in the least interested in modern technology, enjoyed the movies I mentioned before and are like me concerned about how far any government is willing to go to keep track of all our movements, than you should definitely take a look at Eagle Eye. I guarantee you will not be disappointed.
