Eagle Eye feat. The Bourne Identity. This is unbridled stealing and it insults logic, and yet is also quite a fine B-movie. If you can get over the tragic West, you're taken in by tough guys Burns and Rhames and dragged through the back alleys of Prague to a desert warehouse where everything is resolved by a conversation about the Constitution. I appreciate the pace but I despair at the lack of imagination. I would have given it four stars for the first half, but in the end, it reminds you that you have to be more realistic.

This is a low-budget spitting image of Eagle Eye (which itself is a duplicate of dozens of other movies) with the tragic Shane “I almost look like Timothy Olyphant" West. However, despite occasional unintentional absurdity and B-movieness, in places bordering on C-movieness, this movie isn’t so absolutely awful. And one plus is that it has a solid pace, so as a watchable relax movie, this more or less does the job.
