Trivia:
When Jerry and Rachel are in Circuit City, just as Jerry opens the door to the home theatre room, to the left of his head you can see a small poster for Disturbia (2007) (also starring Shia LaBeouf and directed by D.J. Caruso). more
Goofs:
Incorrectly regarded as goofs: When Jerry Shaw finds several passports in his room, one of them is the USSR passport. While the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, Soviet passports were valid for 10 years and could be validated for another term at consulates without being changed. A passport issued in 1990 would be valid to be extended till 2020. You get a new passport when you actually visit the ministry. more

A great popcorn flick, 25 September 2008
8/10
Author: mneiai from United States

Eagle Eye is a well-paced, action-packed popcorn movie up at the same level as most of Shia LeBouf's other movies. It had just enough mystery to keep a intellectual interest throughout the explosions, horrific deaths (though, of course, the rating meant they were off-screen), and originally awkward interaction between the two main characters. While an attentive viewer will guess most of the "surprises" before they are revealed, the question as to how the movie will ultimately end makes up for any disappointment.

The acting was better than expected, the storyline as original as it could hope to be, and, all in all, it is certainly a movie I suggest to fans of action, Shia, or government conspiracies.
