Why so much hate?
Eagle Eye is a true action packed masterpiece that'll have you on the edge of your seat. I found myself more tense than when I watched Speed which I wouldn't have thought was possible. It features good performances from it's top rated cast especially Michelle Monaghan and the (uncredited) voice of Julianne Moore.
So imagine my surprise when I discover the film's rotten tomatoes score is only 27% and that it's reviews are mostly negative. Looking back, I think I agree that the film is a bit unrealistic but that's one of the earliest lessons I learned about films: never take them too seriously.
It does certainly have areas for improvement but if you like a thrill ride packed with heart-stopping, fast-paced action then Eagle Eye is the film for you.
