Caruso film a few years ago (Two For the Money), and I remember how much I hated that film. Rosario Dawson and Anthony Mackie are acceptable in even smaller roles. Chiklis did great in his role as the Secretary of Defense - and the unfortunate "victim" of circumstance. Maybe it was the script, but Thornton's character was so stereotypical and overdone that it almost made him laughable - especially towards the end. Our supporting cast includes veterans Billy Bob Thornton and Michael Chiklis. I'm pleased to tell you that they rise to the occasion and carry the film with ease. If the audience doesn't like them, the film will ultimately fail. The whole film, despite the action sequences, rides on the shoulders of the leads. Michelle Monaghan, long one of the most underrated in the business, also helps us believe in her character with a convincing show of emotion early in the film. He really stretches some acting muscle in the beginning of the film, and it is because of this early success that we are willing to go along for the ride with him, following, trusting, and believing in his Jerry Shaw. Shia LaBeouf revisits the "troubled youth" character he created in Disturbia, though his turn here is darker and has more depth. Both live up to their names and reputations admirably. Now to our cast, the headliners of which are two of film's biggest rising stars. With car chases to rival the best of them, as well as one of the most clever "on-foot" chases I've ever seen within an airport, Eagle Eye never fails to grab your attention with the incredible action sequences. The CGI is seamless and more than worthy of an Oscar nomination. I cannot give enough accolades to whoever thought up this action - Eagle Eye boasts arguably the best action sequences of the year.

The film also lacks in the originality department elsewhere, as elements of I, Robot and Live Free or Die Hard are also present and quite obvious. I can already here the Transformers comparisons flying in. The US Secretary of Defense is portrayed (Michael Chiklis), it's incredibly unrealistic, has Shia LaBeouf, and has a prominent military character (Anthony Mackie). The film, very well masked by trailers that really only show the beginning of the film and small pieces of the end, deals with cyber-terrorism and a secret military project dealing with destruction and national security. However, whenever Eagle Eye stretches our minds to the breaking limits with the insanity on screen, it manages to throw in a mind boggling action sequence or two right as we start to get mad. Is it as smart or as gripping as other chase and mystery thrillers such as the Bourne series? Of course not. That doesn't stop Eagle Eye from being one of the most entertaining and effective thrillers of recent memory.

Please don't get mad because the movie isn't realistic. First off, I cannot stress this enough: don't take this movie seriously. These guys took us by storm with the pleasant surprise Disturbia last year, and pretty much anything with the name Spielberg on it has to be at least entertaining, if not excellent. Caruso, and everyman leading star Shia LaBeouf. Ah, the seemingly perfect combination of Steven Spielberg, director D.J.
