ANYWAY

Decided to finish the "holy-day", at least for the Muslims, by watching Eagle Eye, a suspense-filled, action packed, conspiracy thriller from Paramount-Dreamworks. The movie quite roused my interest since it debuted at number in the box office and I received a lot of good reviews from friends. So together with my brother and cousin, we paid Gateway a visit.

There isn't much mall goers at that time. Maybe most of the people decided to stay at the comfy of their homes. This is good though - less queues and better seats for us. We were just wishing that the movie is good as well.

And so we thought.

Though the movie did put us on the edge of our seats, the idea of the protagonists being manipulated by a "digi-voiced" girl that made them an instant national threat is quite really far from reality. We were disappointed when the whole plot of the movie revolves on a super advanced computer that acts as a Big Brother of the whole US - who controls all automated equipment to coerce anyone to follow its commands.

But I have to give credit on the hyperactive scenes of the movie. We still remember that we keep saying our 'aaarghhhs' whenever the black Cayenne was tortured. Darn love that car! Just learned that the movie was co-produced by Spielberg, thus the Minority Report feel of the movie.

Overall, not really a bad movie to see. Would still like to see this in the big screen because of the really smashing scenes. After a week or two though, the film will do poorly in the box office because of the story. (By the way, the actor here kinda resembles me. Lol!)
