An Eagle lands in theaters Friday

Last year Shia LaBeouf starred in D.J. Caruso’s Disturbia, a charming, decent enough thriller that, according to a recent studio lawsuit, too closely resembled Alfred Hitchcock’s Rear Window. Now trailers for Eagle Eye have fans asking, “Have they ripped off Hitch again?” Eagle Eye looks like a modern retelling of the classic North By Northwest, which is fine, as long as we all agree to call a spade a spade. LaBeouf and Michelle Monaghan have never met but are thrown together when their lives are both threatened by a series of mysterious phone calls that force them on the run from police who believe them to be among the country’s most wanted. Running for their lives, they must work together to unravel the mystery and clear their good names. Rosario Dawson and Billy Bob Thornton co-star. Rated PG-13.
