Eagle Eye

Eagle Eye stars Stephen Speilberg's Mancrush, Shia LeBeouf as Jerry Shaw, an everyday kind of guy who works at a local Copy Cavana paper store.  Jerry struggles to get by with barely enough money for rent.  Until he arrives at an ATM and finds 750,000 dollars in his checking account.  He goes back to his crummy apartment to find it filled with Weapons and Chemicals.  He's being framed as a terrorist. Shortly after being questioned by Agent Thomas Morgan (Billy Bob Thorton) Shaw gets one phone call but the call is interrupted by a womans voice that instructs him to lay on the floor.  Seconds later he's broken out of custody and is on the run.  He has no idea where he's headed and ends up meeting up with Michelle Monogahn (Rachel Hollowman) in a Black car and they both have no Idea what's going on.  Later they find out they're both being framed for terrorism and the only way to survive is to continue listening to this voice on the other end of the phone.
Completley Un-realistic but a true action packed thrill ride that has minimal downtime at any point in the movie.  I recommend this one for sure, going into it I wasn't expecting much, this one delivered.  Only thing I can say is towards the end the storyline became somewhat similar to that of Get Smart.  I'll leave it at that.  We also get witness to the
"Flight of the Navagator 5000" super computer.
8/10
