Sat night wifey was up for a movie, so headed off to "Video Busters" to get something we'd both enjoy, especially her. Sadly I went at 3pm, just a terrible time for getting a video as not much has been returned from the previous night. After 3 laps of the store I settled on "Eagle Eye". This broke my rule of when i'm struggling to find something, always selecting a movie I've heard is crap but has famous stars in it over a movie I know nothing of with nobody's in it (although I'd heard LeBeouf is popular these days).
"Eagle Eye" is a "thriller" about two people (LeBeouf as Jerry and Michelle Monaghan as Rachel) who both receive weird phone calls requesting them to do crazy, dangerous things (think a modern day "Die Hard With A Vengeance"). After several attempts to escape these requests, it soon becomes clear this is serious- really serious. We are left for ages not knowing who or why is putting them up to this but around half way through we learn the shocking truth. Is it terrorists? Is it the Government? Is it aliens?
Surprisingly not bad. An interesting idea that's been done before, despite some ridiculous elements ie the kids trumpet. Ok for what it is, just a bit annoying at times.
