“Eagle Eye” has the Action, Thrills, Big Brother Paranoia, good acting from a talented cast and non-stop storyline that make this a really good movie that could possibly be considered a cranked up sequel to ”Enemy of the State” (1998)….

MY TAKE (spoiler free):

Like most good action/thrillers this movie doesn’t take long to get going or to jump into the main storyline… the story and plot twists are solid, the acting is good – with no roles or actors wasted, the high-tech parts of the movie aren’t difficult to understand, the effects and stunts help the story and don’t distract from it…  BUT BE READY TO BE AN ACTIVE VIEWER - (more…)
