Combining a high-speed car chase, plenty of bomb blasts, and technology-gone-wild, Eagle Eye is a great action flick for those nights when your brain has switched off.
Directed by Disturbia's David Caruso, the movie follows a university dropout named Jerry (Disturbia lead Shia LaBeouf) and tough single mum Rachel (Michelle Monaghan), who find themselves unwitting pawns to an anonymous digital voice.
Their moves are dictated by the voice via the electronic devices around them. They are forced to obey her, or risk setting off an explosive placed in Rachel's son's trumpet. The problem is, her ultimate goal is for them to kill the president.
Jerry and Rachel have no one to turn to, as the highest levels of defence - led by a bored-looking Billy Bob Thorton - are hot on their heels for reasons the pair can't work out.
Eagle Eye has been criticised for copying ideas from classics such as 2001: A Space Odyssey and George Orwell's 1984. It does - but technology has never been so ingrained in our lives as it is today. Expect a modern spin on the Big Brother Is Watching You theme.
The movie fails to instil the same fear of technology as Jaws did for sharks, but it might make you think twice before picking up your cell phone.
