Eagle Eye
To be honest, I was beginning to lose faith in Eagle Eye. It's not that I've heard anything bad about the film or seen anything bad, I'm just surprised that DreamWorks is not going gung-ho in marketing the thriller considering that it is due out this Friday. The fact that there are bound to be a few of you surprised to hear that the film is just a few days out exactly confirms my point. In the final stretch, DreamWorks is doing nothing to hype us up.
Now it looks like they might not have to, as the first report (we have seen) on the film is nothing but positive.
Eagle Eye Reviewed
Harry at AICN has posted his review of Eagle Eye and concludes by calling it outrageously awesome.
In fact everything in the film advances the story, every image has a payoff. Every loose end tied up. It’s sort of like a Phil Alden Robinson / Hitchcock / Michael Bay / John Badham type of mash-up… that never feels cookie cutter.
I dug the hell out of the film, the casting is rock solid – Shia is maturing throughout this film. Michelle Monaghan might be the best MILF of the year. Rosario Dawson is just one of my favorite actresses right now – not necessarily a meaty role, but I just can’t stop smiling everytime she’s onscreen. Then there’s the joy that William Sadler, Billy Bob Thornton and Michael Chiklis bring to the film. They’re just the sort of dependable and awesome performers that bring a gravitas to these situations, while adding personality and charm to their characters quickly, so the story can focus on developing Shia and Michelle, who are CENTRAL to the story and DJ never loses them through it all.
The Eagle Eye review ends with a lot of positive exclamation points, so check it out at AICN.
Eagle Eye opens to theaters on September 26th.
