É um thriller de hi-tech cheio de ritmo, mas não oferece nada de distinto, e apenas a presença de Shia LaBeouf e do selo «Executive Producer Steven Spielberg» o tornam atraente. Tony Scott, que opera no mesmo género, tem o seu próprio estilo de direção e os seus thrillers de hi-tech são distintos, audiovisualmente criativos. D.J. Caruso é mais um rotineiro que não estraga nada, mas também não eleva nada. E isso não é suficiente para mim num filme do género de duas horas de ação sem psicologia de carácter mais espesso.

Risk of spoilers When a murderous computer appears in Buffy the Vampire Slayer or The X-Files, fans (not without reason) classify such episodes as among the worse ones. When a fighter plane in Stealth starts thinking for itself, it turns the movie into a flop that the audience relishes in mocking. And when a giant central security computer in Eagle Eye starts causing trouble for the American government and tries to take the fate of the world into its own hands, it becomes a hit. A significant portion of the user community may consider the plot to be infinitely dull, but with pleasure they give the film a positive rating, saying that the ride was worth it. Unfortunately, it wasn't. I would much rather see more of Shia LaBeouf as a poker teacher or as the confidant of a lonely mother in a cargo box. I don't mean to say that a gun doesn't suit him, but in such moments we get too close to falling telegraph poles, makeshift lists of future victims, and sound vibrations reflecting off a mug. D.J. Caruso's first stumble, which unfortunately marked his career with bad luck.

A cold Hollywood calculation “for one week" without any other ambitions than earning money fast and being forgotten even faster? Unarguably. On the other hand, it could have made good viewing. Yes, Caruso evidently likes Hitch, probably saw Space Odyssey and just loves movies like Enemy of the State. Which shows that he has taste, but says nothing about his talents. The beginning isn’t at all bad, but Caruso’s sprint runs out of breath half way through already. And during the true American finish, Eagle Eye commits harakiri at a moment when the end isn’t yet in sight. Shia is excellent as always, even though he was playing exactly the same role for about the seventh time over. But there are a few moments where I gets going (in the first half), so for a very forgettable, almost solid routine movie it’s just enough. By a very narrow hair’s breadth.

In the beginning there where two Shias... A badass action typhoon that would make even the most resilient veteran’s hair stand on end. It should have said at the beginning the not too distant future and not “next year" so that it wouldn’t seem so dumb in places, but so what. This movie isn’t trying to take an IQ test. It’s trying to blow up. This was probably the biggest badass in Shia’s whole career but he just played (me) a slothful layabout with no ambition. Michelle Monaghan was perfect for her role and Billy Bob Thornton sometimes reminded me of Clint Eastwood (aka Dirty Harry). D.J. Caruso did an excellent job and if I were a little younger I would give it 5. "Coffee machines have timers..."

Spielberg is enjoying the production aspects and he’s letting decent directorial craftsmen under his patronage demonstrate their talents. Caruso's film is nothing more than a feature-length popcorn flick with no higher ambitions. It tightly clutches several genres, deftly referencing its more famous colleagues, and yet the is honestly entertaining for two hours. There are no dead spots and the pacing is so frantic that it kills even the leaky logic, and the actors so excellent that even the stiff dialogue can be forgotten. I’m willing to accept the angry criticism around the volatile camera and frantic editing - except for the car chases, where the feasts of destruction don't quite stand out - otherwise, it’s damn good! It’s a fine fairy tale, and after watching it I will fall asleep after a long time with a cynical feeling that such toys will one day bury the entire "civilized" world. :)
