Film Review: Eagle Eye

Harsh Review for Eagle Eye by Roger Ebert - 2 Stars

The word preposterous is too moderate to describe “Eagle Eye.” This film contains not a single plausible moment after the opening sequence, and that’s borderline. It’s not an assault on intelligence. It’s an assault on consciousness.

I know, I know, I liked “Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor,” but that film intended to be absurd. “Eagle Eye” has real cars and buildings and trains and CNN and stuff, and purports to take place in the real world.

You might like it, actually. Lots of people will. It involves relentless action: chases involving planes, trains, automobiles, buses. Hundreds of dead. Enough crashes to stock a junkyard. Lots of stuff being blowed up real good. Two heroes who lack any experience with violence but somehow manage to stick up an armored car at gunpoint, walk on board an unguarded military transport plane and penetrate to the ultra-secret 29th-floor basement of the Pentagon.
