She also receives a phone call from mystery woman, threatening that her son's train will be derailed if she does not do as she is told. to perform with his school band for the President and cabinet. You guessed it - the mystery lady is on the line and manages to engineer his very elaborate escape.Īnd then we have Rachel Holloman (Michelle Monaghan, who seems to be channeling Sandra Bullock), single mother of little Sam (cute little guy Cameron Boyce). Basically ol' Jerry is hosed until a high level FAX comes in stating that he needs to get his one phone call. We see him back in interrogation where agent Thomas Morgan (Billy Bob Thornton) questions him. Unfortunately she wasn't kidding and the FBI busts in and arrests him. Being the anti-establishment, rebellious guy he is, he tells her to pack sand. you name it.Īnd this is when he receives the mysterious phone call telling him he has less than a minute to get out of his apartment because the FBI is on its way. When he arrives at his apartment it is stocked to the gills with everything a terrorist would order from The Home Shopping Channel: Hundreds of pounds of ammonium nitrate, military night vision goggles, scopes, automatic weapons, tech manuals for military aircraft. Of course, he's a bit freaked, especially when the machine spits out thousands of dollars at him (nevermind the ATM limit of $500/day). When Jerry returns home he hits up the ATM machine and finds he has a balance of $750,000. Overacheiver, brilliant, military academy, yadda yadda yadda, while Jerry is basically a drifter, estranged from his father (William Sadler) who is disgusted by his directionless existence. Turns out he has a twin brother who died very recently and was the complete opposite of him. He's pretty much dead broke and lives in a squalid little apartment. Unfortunately his charming personality hasn't been enough to raise his station in life as we see him walk out into his job as a "sales associate" at Copy Barn (think Kinkos). ![]() He is obviously overruled and the strike is executed.Ĭut to a little poker game between Jerry Shaw (Shia LaBeouf), where we see demonstrated that he is a slick, fast talker as he relieves his friends of their cash in a very funny scene. The commanding officer and the President both agree it's worth the risk to take them out, but Defense Secretary Callister (Michael Chiklis) disagrees. They think they have the equivalent of Osama bin Laden in their sights, but according to a computer analysis there is only a 51% probability that it is him, and he and a group of men are either at a burial or a weapons cache.Ī decision has to be made whether to hit the group via a missile attack or abort. bring it! :-)Īt the start of Eagle Eye, my thought was "woah, this is going to be an intense, kick-ass movie." The opening scene is in a military command center, where an area somewhere in the Middle East (presumably Iraq) is being monitored by both soldiers on the ground and high-tech aerial surveillance. ![]() Luckily I'm from New Jersey and I can handle it, so. So no matter which way I go, people will come out of the woodwork to say I'm nuts, a jerk, or I shouldn't be reviewing movies.
