Who would have expected that one of the most intriguing-looking big-budget thrillers of this year would star Shia LaBeouf and be directed by the clown who made Taking Lives? Eagle Eye doesn’t look particularly fresh- basically it’s a twist on Hitchcock’s “innocent man wrongly accused” rejiggered for our tech-happy age. Yet there’s something delicious about how paranoid this looks, with shadowy organizations setting up innocent people as possible criminals as part of… what? A sick game? Or something more sinister? Of course, LaBeouf is a far cry from the old-Hollywood classiness of Hitchcockian leads like Cary Grant, but there’s something ratty-looking about him here that not only makes him more relatable for today’s audiences, but also makes his survival less certain. It’s entirely possible that this movie will be all premise, no execution, but the premise is good enough that for now, I’m on board.
