The action-adventure thriller film Eagle Eye received mixed reviews upon its release. Roger Moore of the Orlando Sentinel wrote in his review that Eagle Eye was not "a bad movie," but a "cluttered" and "derivative" one.Orlando Sentinel: Eagle Eye Review (September 24, 2008) Critic Emanuel Levy also noted that the film was in development for so long, much of "what was sci-fi and stretching credibility" when it was originally written was already "mainstream reality" when it was released.Emanuel Levy: Eagle Eye Review

Roger Ebert wrote that Eagle Eye did not have "a single plausible moment after the opening sequence, and that's borderline." He added that the movie was not "an assault on intelligence," but "an assault on consciousness."Roger Ebert: Eagle Eye Review (September 25, 2008) Robert Koehler of Variety even remarked that Eagle Eye was "near-parody in the final act."Variety: Eagle Eye Review (September 25, 2008)

Entertainment Weekly's Lisa Schwarzbaum thought the film was perhaps too "hysterical" and chaotic--something that Austin Chronicle critic Josh Rosenblatt thought was "good, manic fun."Entertainment Weekly: Eagle Eye Review (September 24, 2008) The Austin Chronicle: Eagle Eye Review (September 26, 2008)
