And what she wants is to either destroy or defend (depending on whom you ask) the American political system by teaming Jerry with an equally clueless young mother (Monaghan) and forcing them into a mission of near-impossible danger. Within minutes of our meeting him – in the stockroom of the copy store where he works – Jerry is on the run from the FBI (led by a deliciously dyspeptic Thornton) after being framed as a terrorist for reasons he can’t understand and narrowly escaping the gaping maw of the post-PATRIOT Act American justice system with the help of a mysterious woman who contacts him by cell phone and who possesses the ability to manipulate the entirety of a city’s electrical system – including elevated trains, traffic lights, garbage cranes, LED news tickers, and power lines – to get what she wants.
#Shia labeouf eagle eye movie
Not that director Caruso ( Disturbia) has much time to stop and ogle him ogling simply isn’t possible in a movie so bent on full-speed-ahead destruction.
Instead we get LaBeouf, the former Disney Channel boy wonder, who may not have Smith’s magnetic appeal but who can grow a surprisingly good mustache. government, the July Fourth weekend would have been all his. Had Will Smith agreed to play the role of Jerry Shaw, a sweet-talking slacker with a chip on his shoulder who gets dragged pissing and moaning in to a violent conspiracy against the U.S. With its frenetic car chases its near-erotic fascination with explosions, gadgets, and guns and its improbable and, in the end, totally disposable storyline, it’s the very definition of a summer blockbuster: good, manic fun plus a heavy dose of political intrigue adding up to two hours of clamorous, mind-numbing nonsense.
I could be wrong, but it feels like Eagle Eye is arriving in theatres a few months late.
