The whole film features as a chase movie with some government phone tappings. Production began to use their favorite scenes from similar plotted films and just changed the characters and location.
It’s unconvincing and unoriginal plot gave it a negative review. The casting and also the acting is satisfactory. It was a combination of action as there is a lot of chase, suspense and thrill and sci-fi because of the futuristic theme. It was very close to other movies involving terrorism and government conspiracy and evil plots. Many complain about the terrible story and the countless rip off from movies like I, Robot, 2001: A Space Odyssey, and even Live Free or Die Hard to some extent. The movie is entertaining though, especially to the fans of the lead characters.
It is full of suspense yet the story is very predictable and too familiar. It was given a C or average rating by many reviews. The title “Eagle Eye” seemed appropriate for the main theme of the movie and that was surveillance of people with the use of modern technology. Work Cited “Eagle Eye (2008)”.
