New Movies Podcast: 'Eagle Eye,'


Eagle Eye

If you're a 14-year-old who prefers whizzing bullets and random explosions to coherent filmmaking, here's a movie for you. The ubiquitous Shia LaBeouf plays a guy who finds himself framed for a terrorist plot, forced to follow instructions from a mysteriously omniscient female voice on his cell phone. Meanwhile, a single mom (played by Michelle Monaghan) must follow instructions from the same mystery woman in order to save her son.

The convoluted plot gets more ridiculous from there as director D.J. Caruso attempts to establish himself as a modern-day Hitchcock with obvious nods to "North by Northwest" and "The Man Who Knew Too Much."

It seems like a loose-knit collection of action sequences fueled by the cheesy device of an all-seeing, all-knowing mysterious voice. Even worse, the movie seems to think it's making a serious political statement on government surveillance.
