United States | Chicago Tribune | "Eagle Eye works only in flashes, and only in fragments do you feel the simultaneous buzz and cold chill the filmmakers are after. (...) For all its digitally effected chaos, the cinematic threat level in "Eagle Eye" never comes close to orange, even." | NEU |
United States | Chicago Sun-Times | ""This film contains not a single plausible moment after the opening sequence, and that's borderline. It's not an assault on intelligence. It's an assault on consciousness. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of four)" | NEG |
United States | SFGATE | "It's as if, somewhere in the middle, the studio decided to invest real money in "Eagle Eye" and bloat it into a major action movie, instead of a small, cheesy thriller. There were the makings here of a really good small, cheesy thriller." | NEU |
United States | TV Guide | "Noisy, derivative and thoroughly preposterous even by the standards of 21st-century action movies." | NEG |
United States | USA Today | "Though it aspires to be an intriguing political cautionary tale, the movie is mostly about the feverish and jarringly choreographed chase scenes (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)" | NEU |
United States | The Washington Post | "A sometimes entertaining flick that makes a lot of noise but doesn't have much to say" | NEU |
United Kingdom | Empire | "A fun techno romp, mixing great bang for your buck with insights into the dangers of restricting civil liberties." | POS |
United States | Austin Chronicle | "Good, manic fun plus a heavy dose of political intrigue adding up to two hours of clamorous, mind-numbing nonsense (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)" | NEU |
United States | Boston Globe | "A movie only a copyright lawyer could love. It strip-mines at least three Hitchcock classics" | NEU |
