Eagle Eye

Big Brother is watching. The post 9/11 climate sees the mushrooming of surveillance cameras in many cities. In Eagle Eye, a new technology was created - a system that could lock down any suspicious characters and assess the threat level of the situation. The system is so penetrative that it controls phone calls and all networked cameras.

Just like in all movies, technology always gets unfriendly. In a plot similar to that of Wall.E, the system gets a life of its own and punished those who violated the Constitution of the United States - the White House.

The movie stars Shia Labouf who also acted in Transformers the Movie. He and Michelle Monaghan were brought together by the system which contacted them via their cell phones.

I was most impressed with the ability of the system to monitor conversations through vibrations of water in a cup.

Eagle Eye also forced us to rethink the purpose and rationale of the Iraq War. Was the Constitution of the US violated in the waging of this long war?
