I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
Eagle eye is a movie that was released on September 26 2008 with a six out of ten star review. If you like action, mystery and thriller you should watch this movie. Jerry Shaw(Shia labeouf) is the main character for eagle eye. A little about this movie is that Jerry Shaw has a twin brother that die. the brother was the smart one and Jerry Shaw was a thief. he has a credit and goes to a ATM and deposit money. when he does that thousands of dollars comes out. He goes back to his apartment and has military equipment and doesn't know how it got there. He gets arrested and he escapes and helps this women find her kid by force. He goes on a quest to destroy this thing called the eagle eye. if you like this review you should watch this movie.
Not Big on Ideas, but its Central Thesis is certainly a Big Idea. So Big in Fact that it has become a Cliché of Modern Paranoia. With its Roots in many a Sci-Fi Books and Cinema. Here in the form of a Super Computer, the Thesis is Technology Run Amok. The Story is Told so many times because it is Compelling, Scary, and can be Found in the Headlines. Almost.This is a Big Budget, Over Baked, Simplified Version of said Events that is Light on Philosophy and Heavy-Handed on just about Everything Else. The Cast is Better than the Script that is Outrageously Over-Done on all levels. From the Get-Go Suspension of Disbelief has Trouble Taking Hold.But, No Worries. The Pace is Fast and Frantic, the SFX Outstanding, and the Screen is Frame-Filled with High-Tech, Explosions, Car Crashes, and Mayhem Beyond Belief. It Actually has the Opposite Effect of its Intent. It is made to make You Think, but it acts more like a Comatose Inducement. The Mind Numbs and Thinking is Optional, in Fact it is Not Recommended.Overall, it's Popcorn Paranoia. Worth a Watch for its Entertainment Value and Slick Production, made for Drones and the Dumbed Down, but Despite the Weight of this Glossy Thing, the Message somehow makes it Point. Again, just to Remind Us that the Implication of the Thesis is Not Going Away anytime soon.
(37%) A piece made entirely for the average opening weekend cinema goer. The type of person who decides what film to go and watch by the billboard they just drove past, or a 10 second TV spot. Someone who thinks that the critics are way too harsh with the "awesome" transformers movies. The type of person who are far more interested in the popcorn and fizzy drink combo than the actual film itself. People who just want a big bang for every one of their bucks. Folk who always between the "boring talky bits" check their text messages and distract everyone around them with the annoying glow from their phone's screen. And quite frankly if that's you in a nutshell then this is a good watch. In fact you might even deem it awesome, but if that's the case then you likely paid with your ticket using pocket money. With a fair bit of Will Smith's "Enemy of the state" this is a movie most high school students would alter Hitchcock's entire back-catalogue to be more like, ie take out character depth, almost all the tension, subtlety, and just hand over all the action by the bargain bucket load. While this does roll along at a fair old speed, is very watchable, and isn't really what I'd call even near to being terrible, but it still couldn't be more of a hollow, overly produced, and very silly experience even if it tried.
Why can't people write good scripts anymore? In watching this (I was sorry I was watching it) all I could think is this all these people can come up with - completely unbelievable car chases, plot that makes absolutely no sense, technology uses that make absolutely no sense and I could go on. Anyway I won't be wasting my time actually watching this piece of crap all the way through. Life is too short for that. Hollywood - write a good script and bring us something that is believable. If I want fantasy I will rent Shrek. At least it had a good script.
