My Response: I was able to see Eagle Eye at a preview screening last night, so I have some insight into the film. I was anticipating the movie as an entertaining thriller with some plot holes, and I was right. There are some great action scenes to watch, but you need to suspend your disbelief more than a few times to be able to fully enjoy the movie. Shia Laboef entertains like always, and it's a fun movie to watch. Just don't expect much more than that and you'll be satisfied. I think this film is best seen in a theatre to fully appreciate the action scenes.
