Eagle Eye: Movie Reflection

Honestly, I am not so familiar with this movie. As I watched the previews of this movie, eagle Eye is a video game-like string of action sequences aligned together in the service of a plot that defies explanation. Watching the film requires a need to distract oneself, because if you don't, you will likely wind up with a splitting headache as you try to rationalize the plot.
Eagle Eye
The plot here is actually pretty complex. A government program selects a man whose Air Force brother has recently died and pairs him with a young mother whose child is at risk to carry out a super-secret government program. As we follow our duo through the course of the movie, we’ll find out steadily more about each, and about the government program they find themselves roped into working for. By the end, the entire government of the United States will be at risk.
Eagle Eye builds suspense in the initial climb and hits its peak at the first drop of action, but soon becomes tedious and monotonous when the mystery of the caller extends its welcome and the narrative twists and turns fall victim to genre clichés.
