A View To The Distance!

Hanged out with Mark and Anqi today ( once again, been an interference to their date XD ), we caught "Eagle Eye" the movie, an action/thriller movie starring Shia Labeouf, Michelle Monaghan, Billy Bob Thornton,

As far as action shows goes, this movie has it's fair amount of car chases, chases, gun fights, evasion and what nots, and as far as the thriller plots goes, it's fairly good, with it's sub predictable plot, you'll definitely see some scenes that has been copied but altered to this story line.. such as the "mastermind" enemy, the car vs aerial vehicle scene.. the show isn't just about action, but a little political on war and stuff.. i'm not too technical on this stuff.. so.. watch the movie and find out :P

but overall, it wasn't that bad.. so..i'll cut to the synopsis..

without spoiling too much

I think aside from the kiss scene, the movie is actually quite good, with a reasonable cast, lots of smash and bang, reasonable script (didn;t like who the mysterious caller really is, thought it was some terrorist group), explosive audio!!(almost went deaf!! but love the effects!!) and the fact that, technology really isn;t safe from everyone.. even the government themselves are probably watched!!.

So if you wanna watch a movie this weekend, and prefer not to wait for Max Payne, 20th century boy or not considering to watch ABBA's musical movie, Mama Mia, try catching this one. It's not a movie for a Date(unless you happen to have a tech/nerd chick!!) but it sure is fun if you have geeky friends who likes action and predicting how the story goes!!

Be careful, the eagle eyes are out there!

Cheers!
