Seattle Post-Intelligencer
The movie is so engrossing as an intellectual puzzle and such a solid thriller in every other department that it's probably actor-proof. - 67
Austin Chronicle
Good, manic fun plus a heavy dose of political intrigue adding up to two hours of clamorous, mind-numbing nonsense. - 63
Charlotte Observer
Monaghan gives a solid performance, and Billy Bob Thornton has sarcastically funny bits as an FBI agent. - 63
Philadelphia Inquirer
What Eagle Eye wants to do is show us technology's dark side: all the stuff that's there to make our lives easier - ATMs, PDAs, iPods, GPS, cell phones, PCs, "smart" houses - turned against us in a vast conspiracy. - 50
Chicago Sun-Times
The word preposterous is too moderate to describe Eagle Eye. 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. - 50
Variety
The picture's first 35 minutes sizzle until a Byzantine plot nudges the story toward near-parody in the final act. - 42
Entertainment Weekly
A brain-squandering thriller. - 40
L.A. Weekly
From tepid start to laughable middle to thudding finish (and the final two minutes smack of a reshoot), it's nothing but a herky-jerky clusterfuck of noise and nonsense.
