Eagle Eye (2008) 8/10

Starring : Shia LaBeouf, Michelle Monaghan, Rosario Dawson, Michael Chiklis, Billy Bob Thornton
Director : DJ Caruso
Running Time : 118 mins

Jerry Shaw (LaBeouf) has a twin brother, an over-achiever in the military, but when his brother dies, Jerry finds his life in danger when a fortune in money shows up in his bank account, an enormous cache of weapons are delivered to his flat, and a mysterious voice threatens him with death if he doesn’t follow their every instruction.

This was a surprising well written and well acted political thriller that actually had some surprising twists that kept me on the edge of my seat. LaBeouf is pretty good in the lead role, playing the usual slacker that he constantly gets credited as, and Monaghan was an unusual addition to the plot, playing the terrified mother who is forced by the mysterious voice to betray LaBeaouf.
