EAGLE EYE: QUICK BITE

EAGLE EYE 2008 SPACEY ODDITY
What a cat and mouse game this was! Totally unbelievable, unoriginal and irrational, but interestingly scripted and filmed. Going to the movies suspends reality so we can enjoy more than our 9-5 jobs, paying taxes and watching the economy tank. In an odd way, this movie did do that. From scene to scene to student to dialog, we are thrown, along with our heroes Jerry Shaw (Shia LaBouf) and Rachel Hollowmon (Michelle Monaghan). Long story short, they find themselves on the run. The rest is not necessary because they run ... a LOT and they are well choreographed scenes and it sucks you in. Billy Bob Thornton steps in from here to there to show his official and nonofficial support of this film. "Open the pod bay doors Hal." Most everyone is predictable, but it doesn't make it less fun to watch.
BITE: Just because it isn't believable doesn't make it less fun.
