- It was commercially successful but poorly reviewed.

## Summary

Shia LaBeouf’s 2008 techno-thriller Eagle Eye is currently available to stream on Paramount+ in the United States until 1 September. The article presents it as a possible alternative for viewers awaiting the long-delayed Watch Dogs film, as both centre on surveillance technology and an individual pursued through an extensive tracking system.

Directed by D.J. Caruso and co-starring Michelle Monaghan and Billy Bob Thornton, Eagle Eye follows the twin brother of a killed soldier who is targeted by a powerful corporation. It earned nearly $180 million worldwide from a reported $80 million budget, despite poor critical reception; it holds 27% on Rotten Tomatoes and was strongly criticised by Roger Ebert.
