- 75Seattle Post-IntelligencerWilliam ArnoldSeattle Post-IntelligencerWilliam ArnoldThe movie is so engrossing as an intellectual puzzle and such a solid thriller in every other department that it's probably actor-proof.
- 67Austin ChronicleAustin ChronicleGood, manic fun plus a heavy dose of political intrigue adding up to two hours of clamorous, mind-numbing nonsense.
- 63Charlotte ObserverLawrence ToppmanCharlotte ObserverLawrence ToppmanMonaghan gives a solid performance, and Billy Bob Thornton has sarcastically funny bits as an FBI agent.
- 63Philadelphia InquirerSteven ReaPhiladelphia InquirerSteven ReaWhat 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.
- 50Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertChicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThe 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.
- 50VarietyRobert KoehlerVarietyRobert KoehlerThe picture's first 35 minutes sizzle until a Byzantine plot nudges the story toward near-parody in the final act.
- 42Entertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumEntertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumA brain-squandering thriller.
- 40L.A. WeeklyL.A. WeeklyFrom 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.
- 40The Hollywood ReporterMichael RechtshaffenThe Hollywood ReporterMichael RechtshaffenA shrill, far-fetched thriller.
- 38Chicago TribuneMichael PhillipsChicago TribuneMichael PhillipsThe movie itself is hyperactive and a jumble.
