A warning about the threat in our own backyard -- but as often is the case with Hollywood blockbusters, the warning comes across more like fear-mongering than constructive social criticism. Personally, I prefer my cinema sans mongering.

What's galling about Eagle Eye is that it could easily have been an entertaining film without constantly yielding to the impulse to blow stuff up.

Did everyone involved in this botched thriller OD on speed?

Blends together post-9/11 terrorism paranoia with late 2000s technology paranoia for a movie that doesn't explore either theme in any sort of engaging way.
