Enemy Of The State for a new generation of cinemagoers, Eagle Eye stars Shia LaBeouf and Michelle Monaghan as two strangers who are forced to work together after receiving a telephone call from an unknown woman who is tracing their whereabouts through technology.

Though the movie ticks over at an entertaining pace, it's almost impossible to ignore that every single plot device has been borrowed from another, more superior movie and this was simply rushed through the Hollywood conveyor belt of moviemaking to try and make a box office star out of Shia LaBeouf while the iron was hot.
