"Eagle Eye" **1/2 (out of four): The government sees everything - except the obvious plot holes - in this formulaic but serviceable popcorn movie.

In a time full of improbable events, probably the most improbable is that Shia LaBeouf has become a Hollywood action star. Thank (or blame) executive producer Steven Spielberg, who cast the baby-faced LaBeouf in the "Transformers" franchise, the latest Indiana Jones film, and now "Eagle Eye" -- LaBeouf's first foray into "adult" roles. The guy must have some kind of talent, though his qualifications for action hero were apparently based on his ability to say "NONONONONO" as he ran from computer-generated robots. With a more mature script and some strategically-placed facial hair, can Shia make the leap to big-boy roles?
