The best art, whether it's movies or otherwise, is done by creative folk who do their own thing rather than replicate the work of others.
With Eagle Eye we have something that wants to be a Tony Scott directed, Jerry Bruckheimer produced movie soooo much..... but just can't quite capture the snappy scripting or imaginative helming those colaborations frequently produce (be it Crimson Tide, Enemy Of The State or Deja Vu).
Wannabe inclinations aside, it is a fast, well plotted romp that starts off as a contemporary techno thriller and then drifts into hard sci-fi territory. Where some critics couldn't accept this change of focus that occurs half way through, I simply found it derivative of movies from both the 60's and 80's.
