Eagle Eye

This past week I saw the movie Eagle Eye in theatres. I did not really see many commercials for this movie or hear about other reviews from people. When the movie started out I was not even sure where it was going to go. As things unraveled, it was a very interesting movie. When "Jerry Shaw", Shia Labeouf, is pinpointed as a terrorist by the FBI he has to find ways to get through their security and escape. He tries to learn the game he has to follow from all the orders he's getting from this women on the phone. Along with Jerry there is another woman, Rachel, who is getting orders from the same woman on the phone.

From your first point of view it seems that Jerry and Rachel are being forced to help this terrorist organization that is controlling their future to live. As the movie gets more in depth you start to put the pieces together and see that it is a computer the government created that has tried to take over. It is on the lines of technology taking over. This computer takes over because it think the people that are supposed to protect the country are starting to hurt it and the computer has to fix those in control. It pretty much sets up murders for government leaders.

It really makes you think through out the movie. The movie had very interesting twists and turns. There are so many ways that the movie could go in different directions that make it difficult to predict what the outcome will be. You are worried for the woman and her son most of the time and wondering if Jerry will follow all the orders or keep trying to rebel. In the end when it all kind of clicks how everything is connected, it still doesn't let the action die. You are still wondering if everything is going to work out all right and how they're going to fix the problem. Overall I thought the movie was a pretty decent, action packed film for a mind that likes the different conspiracy theories.
