Short, independant flick reviews! Read about it, before you watch it!

Eagle Eye - short flick critic

Movie review in on sentence: Young fella faces his easy going life turned upside-down, as he suddenly becomes a top terrorist suspect – despite a poor ending an entertaining, popcorn movie.

The plot: Despite his exceptionally high IQ Jerry Shaw (Shia LaBeouf), a Stanford drop-out makes his living working Mc-jobs and just taking easy. Until on day he comes home and finds his run down apartment filled with weapons, ammo and all kind of terrorist stuff. Next thing that happens is a phone call and a female voice telling him to flee the premises immediately, since the feds were underway to raid the place. What follows is an impressive run for life spiced up with an excessive destruction derby. And the apparently superior voice, constantly seeing everything and guiding Jerry.

Flickcritique says: Once the race gets started Eagle Eye totally rocks! Jerry has to run all the time in order to stay alive. Along his ordeal he finds a (female/hot!) mate, single mom Rachel (Michelle Monaghan), which is a bit of a stereotype but since she’s very attractive it’s kinda fine by me ;-) As much as I enjoyed the fast paced run, as much I was disappointed with the predictable ending. Very Hollywood-style :-P Anyways, I enjoyed Eagle Eye, it’s a nice popcorn movie :-D

Watch it if you liked: The Net (1995) with Sandra Bullock as a hermit coder facing identity theft, I, Robot (2004) with Will Smith as a cop fighting rebellious machines or Enemy of the State (1998), again with Will Smith becoming enemy of th state by coincidence – Eagle Eye is a bit similar to all three of them :-)
