Caruso's paranoid thriller, which seems cobbled together from random elements of far better movies.

Review, by Maitland McDonagh: "Noisy, derivative and thoroughly preposterous even by the standards of 21st-century action movies. " [Rating: 1.5 out of 4]
Review, by James Berardinelli: "There is no truth to the rumor that free frontal lobotomies will be performed at the entrance to all theaters showing Eagle Eye." [Rating: 1.5 out of 4]
Review, by Claudia Puig: "A terrorist thriller that isn't so much suspenseful as overbearing. Though it aspires to be an intriguing political cautionary tale, the movie is mostly about the feverish and jarringly choreographed chase scenes." [Rating: 2 out of 4]
