![]() ![]() This scene went on long enough that I began to wonder if I walked into the wrong film. The computer says there’s a 51 percent chance this is the terrorist they want to blow up. Defense Secretary Callister (Michael Chiklis) – are watching intel of an alleged terrorist at a funeral in the Middle East. “Eagle Eye” starts with an extended scene where government officials – including U.S. This is a film that relies on us to care about the characters and for the main characters to care about each other. LaBeouf has one scene where he tears up looking at the body of his dead twin brother, and the ACTING light was flashing too brightly. (Sidenote: The film describes her character as mid-to-late 20s and about 5’9” but her IMDb profile says she’s three months older than me – 32 – and 5’7.” Is the film suggesting early 30s is too old and 5’7 would be too short standing next to Shia LaBeouf, whose profile lists him as 5’9 1/4”? Discuss.) Monaghan has been in everything from “Mission: Impossible III” and “Gone Baby Gone” to the recent Patrick Dempsey vehicle “Made of Honor.” She’s pretty and likable and edge-less enough to let Shia lead the way. They are strangers thrust into a nightmare puppet scenario when a mysterious woman contacts them by cell phone and forces them into dangerous situations. She is the single mother of an adorable trumpet player he is a copy associate whose twin brother just died. The leading lady in this case is Michelle Monaghan as Rachel Holloway. This is actually a good vehicle for Shia since it keeps him in his action zone, gives him at least one meaty funny-guy speech and lets him play the I’LL-listen-to-you-even-if-HE-won’t card on his leading lady. I wouldn’t dwell on the Spielberg connection, other than to remember he darn near worships little Shia and puts him in everything.
