Film: Eagle Eye

Big-brother conspiracy thriller about a couple of everyday Joes being manipulated to to fulfil some end which they know nothing about. Eagle Eye provides just enough action and suspense throughout to keep you interested in the far-reaching plot, while the acting and production values both are both adequate enough to stem any complaints on the technical front.

Still, despite the topical context of the film there is a distinct lack of sophistication and depth in its execution - this is one you can watch half asleep without missing anything and so makes it perfect for a lazy evening viewing. At just under two hours it is longer than it needs to be though.

All in all a bit of a mixed bag, but one that just swings a recommendation from me.
