Critic Reviews

  • Christine Champ, Film.com

    A warning about the threat in our own backyard -- but as often is the case with Hollywood blockbusters, the warning comes across more like fear-mongering than constructive social criticism. Personally, I prefer my cinema sans mongering.

  • Ben Mankiewicz, At the Movies

    It's going to make you want to take the batteries out of your cell phone.

  • Ben Lyons, At the Movies

    An intelligent nail biter.

  • Calvin Wilson, St. Louis Post-Dispatch

    What's galling about Eagle Eye is that it could easily have been an entertaining film without constantly yielding to the impulse to blow stuff up.

  • Joshua Rothkopf, Time Out New York

    To call Eagle Eye derivative is an understatement; the greater sin is how snoozy this Spielberg-produced anxiety drama feels, even with all sorts of objects flying toward your head.

    EAGLE EYE is truly awful, always boring, and worse-than-tedious to call a legal thriller. It is unintentionally funny, stupid, and absolutely ridiculous.

  • Matt G


    Seriously great. I loved the action and the mystery and everything.

  • Jim C


    Very dumb, it was cliche, predictable. And chase scenes were boring. The plot was so easy to tell what happens next, and when is Shia Labeof actually gonna be a good action star. The effcts were the only good thing in a bad movie.

  • KJ P


    A very well crafted thriller! It is most definitely not the best thriller I have ever seen, but as a film that literally came out of nowhere and just wanted to give you some adrenaline pumping fun, it succeeds with flying colours. This is a 2 hour long film, which could have easily… More
