Shia LaBoeuf plays two parts in Eagle Eye, very briefly he's a young Air Force Man working at a very top secret room on the 36th sub level of the Pentagon basement. He gets killed in a traffic accident and the scene shifts now to his underachieving twin brother who works at a copy store.
After the funeral of the Air Force Shia, strange things happen to copy boy Shia. He gets 3/4 of a million dollars in his bank account and his apartment gets filled with all kinds of things that make him look like terrorist suspect number one in the USA. At the same time a young mother, Michelle Monaghan gets some threatening phone calls about bodily harm happening to her son. The two of them, total strangers, get forced to work together on some convoluted scheme.
What Air Force Shia was working on is a Hal like computer which monitors everything and knows everything about anyone. The latest in technology in the war on terror. And this HAL like creature named ARIA does not like to be told 'no'. Like HAL, ARIA has decided to dispense with the human element of running our government.
Stephen Spielberg produced and D.J. Caruso directed a nice cast of players supporting LaBoeuf and Monaghan. Shia is certainly shedding his Disney Channel image from his Even Stevens days. Best in the supporting cast is Air Force Intelligence Officer Rosario Dawson, formerly B'Elanna Torres on Star Trek Voyager.
If this is our future, God Help Us unless we're in the process of creating God with silicon.
