From tepid start to laughable middle to thudding finish (and the final two minutes smack of a reshoot), it's nothing but a herky-jerky clusterfuck of noise and nonsense.

Charlotte Observer by Lawrence Toppman
Monaghan gives a solid performance, and Billy Bob Thornton has sarcastically funny bits as an FBI agent.

Entertainment Weekly by Lisa Schwarzbaum
A brain-squandering thriller.

Chicago Tribune by Michael Phillips
The movie itself is hyperactive and a jumble.

The Hollywood Reporter by Michael Rechtshaffen
A shrill, far-fetched thriller.

The picture's first 35 minutes sizzle until a Byzantine plot nudges the story toward near-parody in the final act.

Chicago Sun-Times by Roger Ebert
The word preposterous is too moderate to describe Eagle Eye. This film contains not a single plausible moment after the opening sequence, and that's borderline. It's not an assault on intelligence. It's an assault on consciousness.

Philadelphia Inquirer by Steven Rea
What Eagle Eye wants to do is show us technology's dark side: all the stuff that's there to make our lives easier - ATMs, PDAs, iPods, GPS, cell phones, PCs, "smart" houses - turned against us in a vast conspiracy.

Seattle Post-Intelligencer by William Arnold
The movie is so engrossing as an intellectual puzzle and such a solid thriller in every other department that it's probably actor-proof.
