What makes this feature at least a little more interesting than the cookie-cutter outline of thriller scripts however is that both these lead characters are being led on a mysterious journey across the country by a voice-on-a-phone who has access to all sorts of technology that governs our civilisation from computers, phones and TVs to billboards and alarm systems. Following meek photo-copy shop clerk Jerry Shaw (Shia LaBeouf) as he takes the road after being wrongly suspected as a terrorist by the FBI, Eagle Eye is standard political thriller material there's the hard-ass government officials, the misunderstood civilian who is inevitably on his way to save everyone, and the fragile love interest along for the ride in the form of Rachel Holloman (Michelle Monaghan).
In this regard, the movie makes for good popcorn watching, but not much else. Despite some major issues however, Eagle Eye still manages to retain a sense of spectacle, and the story, although mostly a science-fiction dud for the most part, does move forward at a decent rate. While these elements leave an experience that will always have you guessing as to where the movie is going next, the eventual climax of the film boils down to character rather than plot, and as a result of spotty characterisation, the film eventually falls flat. and for the most part, that is how the movie plays out. Read aloud, the script could easily be interpreted to be a techno-phobe's transcription of a recurring nightmare the government tracking us all on phones, cameras lip-reading us etc. Not much risk-taking is implemented here there are virtually no new ideas of any kind, and the themes present have all been battered to death in countless novels and films that have frankly done the job far more successfully. So despite some similarities, Eagle Eye at least delivers an experience that is refreshing, but at the same time familiar. No, it is neither creatively similar nor anywhere near the same quality. From the trailers I was imagining Eagle Eye to be a cross between The Matrix and Wanted, but it's not not at all.

In the event of witnessing any suspicious activities, Airmen, DOD personnel and their families are encouraged to report it. “With communication being constant, our relationship with the community remains strong and we want to keep it that way,” Colwell said. Having mission essential facilities located throughout the world, OSI and the Air Force are in constant communication with local authorities and Colwell agreed that the partnership is key to keeping Airmen, the citizens and assets safe. Other indicators of suspicious activity are witnessing people being put into position, mapping out routes and/or monitoring the timing of traffic lights, which would be sign of terrorists performing a dry run or in the process of deploying hostile assets.

It focuses on the need to report on any suspicious activity. “We ask that when you see something suspicious, you say something. “Basically, the program is the neighborhood watch of the Air Force,” said Justin Colwell, an OSI special agent. The program, which is administered by the Office of Special Investigation, puts Airmen and their families as well as local authorities on the anti-terrorism team by being the eyes and ears of the community and knowing what to do in the event of witnessing any behavior that’s out of the ordinary. That’s where the Eagle Eyes program plays a vital role in protecting personnel and Defense Department assets.
