“Eagle Eyeâ€Â is the type of movie that you can’t give a full synopsis of, lest all the excitement be sucked out of the film. Essentially Jerry Shaw (Shia LaBeouf) and Rachel Holloman (Michelle Monaghan) are two strangers that start receiving phone calls directing them in a mission.

With a recently dead twin brother, Shaw was framed as a terrorist when an abundant amount of money and shipment full of weapons, passports, and various bomb-making ingredients show up at his apartment.

Holloman is thrown into the mix when the phone calls threaten to de-rail the train heading to the Kennedy Center that her son is on. Both Billy Bob Thornton and Rosario Dawson play authority figures attempting to solve the case that grows more complicated as the movie progresses.

The heart of the film is what happens when computers develop their own intelligence and decide how our government should be run, when it feels humans have failed in their attempts.

LaBeouf continues to perfect his unlikely action hero status, the type of guy who can take and give hits while occasionally making sarcastic remarks. Monaghan is a sweetheart and you can feel her love for her son, and just how far she would go to keep him safe.

Thornton is a wonderful jerk and Dawson is, as always, sexy and powerful. The movie keeps you riveted as the audience learns along with the characters vital information- enough so you know what is going on but not so much that they are dumbing it all down for you.

The ending is a little too resolved and an unnatural bond is formed, but it̢۪s an all around good movie for those who love action, drama or know that Big Brother is watching.
