I could have seen this last month at Fantastic Fest, but I chose to see small-budget Surveillance instead. Afterwards, having been not-so-enthralled with my choice, I thought that maybe the big-budget studio dropping would have been the better option.
Anyway, back from vacation, I finally caught up to the point that I could catch a film, and this was still on my list. It starts well - action scenes unfolding in a way I hadn't seen before. But then, halfway through, all that unexpectedness ends and it becomes rote formula. I guess it's an acceptable run-of-the-mill modern thriller, but I think the independent film was the better option.
Eagle Eye
2008, 118 minutes, directed by D. J. Caruso
