"Eagle Eye" Movie Review

Last night we watched "Eagle Eye" and I can safely say it is a good movie worth watching.  It starred Shia and Michelle Monaghan.  The hardest part for me about movies starring Shia LaBeouf is every time I see him it's hard to take him as a serious role since he started as that kid from "Even Stevens" and "Holes."  But in his defense he did a great job in this movie.  Here is my review.  Jerry Shaw (Shia LaBeouf) is an amiable slacker with an over-achieving twin brother.  After his twin brother dies in a car accident, strange things start happening to Jerry very quickly: a fortune shows up is his normally empty bank account, military grade weapons are delivered to his apartment, and a voice on his cell phone tells him the police are going to be at his door in 30 seconds to arrest him.  The voice tells Jerry to follow her instructions, Jerry does not and he is arrested.  The voice breaks him out of the FBI holding and now Jerry begins to follow the instructions the voice gives.  Soon Jerry meets a woman (Michelle Monaghan) that is following instructions from the same voice and they begin racing through the city, on to a cargo plane, and eventually to the Pentagon and Capitol Building all while being chased by the FBI.  Her name is Rachel Holloman, a single mom and the voice has threatened her son's death if she doesn't cooperate with the instructions given.  The voice on the other end seems to know everything about these two people but who is behind this voice?  What is being planned? Why Jerry and Rachel?  Watch "Eagle Eye" to find out!
