I'm watching Eagle Eye and about in the middle of the movie, before it's revealed to everyone, I figure out who the mysterious evil woman that is making the new Cary Grant/Jimmy Stewart of Hitchcockian style movies, LA BOOF (Shia LaBeouf) and Michelle Monoghan running all over the place.I always like a movie where I can figure out the clues and foreshadowing that are always there, but not always seen. I still remembering sitting in the movie theater with my bro, Lawrence, watching the Crying Game in 1992 and whispering in his ear: "She's a guy" about 10 minutes before Stephen Rae gets his "big surprise". Eagle Eye wasn't that mysterious, but still... If you haven't seen it yet, the next paragraph might be a spoiler if you know all the movie references.
I can just see the pitch for this movie: "Hal 9000 meets Seven Days In May meets the Colossus: Forbin Project meets The Manchurian Candidate meets the Demon Seed.
It moves non-stop and it's a very watchable movie. No Franks, but gratitious Billy Bob Thorton plays a character named Thomas and later another character is named Tom, so it's a rare 2 Tom movie.
