Can I have your attention, please? Moviegoers, you have been warned. If your cell phone rings during “Eagle Eye,” you are advised to turn it off. It might kill you. Or at least that’s the premise in the new D.J. Caruso production in which technology is mankind’s worst enemy. I know, I know. You thought fictional bad guys were terrorists or mercenaries… or whatever. This is not the case with “Eagle Eye,” starring a kick-ass Shia LaBeouf and Michelle Monaghan. In their world, technology represents the darkest nightmare ever and it has become true, backed by a female big brother-ish voice who knows everything.

The omnipresent creature can take notice of every word you articulate. She can spot you in a mass of hundreds of thousands with some help from face identification software, follow your every movement with curbside surveillance cameras and get rid of you with the unexpected transformation of a traffic light. She can have power over you and does not fail to do so.

Curious enough? Okay, I got it. Just keep in mind that you may be a bit disappointed in the end by the much talked about “Eagle Eye.”

So picture this. The ultra-cyber-terrorism story opens with lazybones Jerry Shaw (Shia LaBeouf) having one of the worst days of his entire life (no, not because he gave up the couch, TV and nachos), as he is completely broke, he just found out that his admirable identical twin, the whitest ship of the family, died in a car crash and he has a full-of-tears funeral to attend. However, his brother’s memorial service brings nothing but apparent luck to Jerry. It’s like a line between brokenness and wealthiness, anonymity and recognition.

Jerry Shaw’s bank account, which did not include a single penny, is now loaded with $750,000. In addition to this, when Jerry returns home he finds his once modest apartment filled with ammonium nitrate, several military instruction booklets, all types of weapons and numerous foreign passports in his name. Flabbergasted, he starts giving all the stuff the once-over, but he has no time to do so, as he receives a call from a weird female voice who tells him that the FBI will raid his place in about… 30 seconds, that he needs to leave immediately and follow further instructions. Evidently, Jerry does not believe a single word, so he stays. Half a minute later, he gets caught and things take the wrong turn.

In the meantime, single mom Rachel Holloman (Michelle Monaghan) gets a phone call from the same voice who informs her that her son, who is on a train to Washington, D.C., will not arrive safe and sound to his destination if Michelle does not follow several directions.

Eventually Jerry and Rachel meet, but they don’t have time for romantic stuff, as they must get rid of the cops who are on their track and do everything the gloomy female voice tells them to.

When we get to discover who the voice really is, we will finally realize we’re on long-winded clichéd land, and all the twists of the plot begin to fall apart. In spite of the fact that the portentous female voice seems to be omnipotent, when you decipher the palpable reason why she needs Jerry and Rachel, it does not elucidate why the ultra prevailing puppeteer has to generate chaos throughout the whole film.

“Eagle Eye” is much ado about nothing.
