Enjoyable, fast-paced thriller that compensates for its increasingly ridiculous plot with strong performances, great direction and some terrific action sequences.
令人愉快的、快節(jié)奏的驚悚片,這部影片通過極其出色的表演、很好的導演以及一些精彩的動作鏡頭彌補了其越來越荒謬的故事情節(jié)。
——Matthew Turner, ViewLondon
So fast paced and exciting that you don't care whether or not it makes any sense.
如此快的節(jié)奏以及如此讓人興奮,以至于你不在乎它是否有意義。

Jerry Shaw(Shia LaBeouf)is a Stanford University dropout who learns that his identical twin brother Ethan, a US Air Force first lieutenant, has been killed. Following the funeral, Jerry is surprised to find $750,000 in his bank account. He later finds his apartment filled with weapons, ammonium nitrate, classified DOD documents, and forged passports. He receives a phone call from a woman who says the FBI is about to arrest him and that he needs to run.
Disbelieving, Jerry is caught by the FBI and interrogated by Supervising Agent Tom Morgan(Billy Bob Thornton). While Morgan is conferring with Air Force OSI Special Agent Zoe Pérez(Rosario Dawson),the woman on the phone arranges for Jerry's escape and directs him to Rachel Holloman(Michelle Monaghan), a single mother. The woman on the phone is coercing Rachel by threatening her son Sam(Cameron Boyce), who is en route to the Kennedy Center with his school band. The woman on the phone helps the two avoid the Chicago police and FBI, with the ability to control networked devices, including traffic lights, mobile phones, automated cranes, and even power lines.
Meanwhile, the woman on the phone redirects a powerful DOD crystalline explosive(hexamethylene)to a gemcutter who cuts and fits it to a necklace. Another man(Anthony Azizi)is manipulated into stealing Sam's trumpet from Chicago and fitting the crystal's sonic trigger into the piping before forwarding it to Sam in Washington, D.C.
Agent Perez is summoned by Secretary of Defense George Callister(Michael Chiklis)to be read into Ethan's job at the Pentagon. Ethan monitored the DOD's top secret intelligence —gathering supercomputer, the Autonomous Reconnaissance Intelligence Integration Analyst(ARIIA; voiced by Julianne Moore). Callister leaves Perez with Major William Bowman(Anthony Mackie)and ARIIA to sort out the Ethan Shaw investigation. Simultaneously, Rachel and Jerry learn that their mysterious woman is actually ARIIA, and she has “activated” them under the Constitution's authorization to recruit civilians for the national defense.
Perez and Bowman find evidence Ethan Shaw hid in ARIIA's chamber the night he died. After they leave to debrief Secretary Callister, ARIIA smuggles Jerry and Rachel into the observation theater under the Pentagon. Both groups learn that after her recommendation was ignored and a botched operation in Balochistan resulted in the deaths of American citizens, ARIIA concluded that “to prevent more bloodshed, the executive branch must be removed.” Acting on behalf of “We the People”, and citing the Declaration of Independence(“whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it”),ARIIA acted in compliance with Section 216 of the Patriot Act which “allows us to circumvent probable cause in the face of a national security threat, in this case, the chain of command itself.”
Too late realized, Jerry has been brought by ARIIA to circumvent biometric locks his twin placed to prevent the system from realizing Operation Guillotine, a military simulation of how to keep the government running with the loss of all presidential successors. Because of Secretary Callister's concurrence with ARIIA's abort recommendation regarding Balochistan, he has been chosen as the designated survivor after the hexamethylene detonates at the State of the Union address(SOTU).
One of ARIIA's agents(Nick Searcy)extracts Rachel from the Pentagon and gives her a dress and the hexamethylene necklace to wear to the SOTU. Sam's school band has also been redirected to the United States Capitol to play for the president, bringing the trigger in Sam's trumpet and the explosive together. Jerry is recaptured by Agent Morgan, who has become convinced of Jerry's innocence. Though Morgan sacrifices himself to stop an armed MQ-9 Reaper sent by ARIIA, he first gives Jerry his weapon and ID with which to gain entrance to the Capitol. Arriving in the House Chamber, Jerry fires the handgun in the air to disrupt the concert before being shot and wounded by the Secret Service,
Days later, Secretary Callister reports that ARIIA has been decommissioned and that he recommends against building another; the Shaw twins, and Agents Perez and Morgan receive awards for their actions; and in the final scene, Jerry attends Sam's birthday party, earning thanks and a kiss from Rachel.
杰瑞·肖恩(希亞·拉博夫飾)是一名斯坦福大學的輟學學生,他得知自己的孿生弟弟伊森,一位美國空軍中尉,已被殺害。葬禮結束后,杰瑞驚奇地發(fā)現自己的銀行賬戶里多了75萬美元,不久他發(fā)現公寓里充滿了武器、硝酸銨、分類的國防部文件,和幾張偽造的護照。他接到了一個女人打來的電話,告訴他聯邦調查局正打算逮捕他,所以他需要逃命。
杰瑞沒有相信那個女人的話,于是被聯邦調查局逮捕了,指揮官湯姆·摩根(比利·勃比·索頓飾)對他進行了審訊。摩根與空軍OSI的特工左伊·彼萊茲(羅莎里奧·道森飾)協(xié)商時,電話里的女人為杰瑞安排好了逃脫方案,并指導他去找瑞秋·霍羅曼(米歇爾·莫娜漢飾),一位單親媽媽。電話里的女人以威脅她兒子薩姆(卡梅倫·勃埃斯飾)性命的方式控制了瑞秋,而她的兒子和學校樂隊一起,正在去往肯尼迪中心的路上。電話里的女人用控制網絡設備,包括紅綠燈、手機、自動起重機甚至電線等設備的方式,幫助他們逃離芝加哥警察和聯邦調查局的追捕。
同時,電話里的女人改變了美國國防部一種強大的水晶炸藥(環(huán)己烷)的寄送地址,把它快遞給了寶石切割者,并讓寶石切割者把它切割制作成了項鏈。另外一個人(安索尼·阿茲茲飾)被控制去芝加哥偷取了薩姆的小號,把水晶炸藥的音波啟動器放置在小號管里,然后把小號傳給了到達華盛頓的薩姆。
國防部長喬治·考利斯特(麥可爾·奇克利斯飾)召見了特工彼萊茲,讓他解讀伊森在五角大樓的工作。伊森監(jiān)控國防部收集絕密情報的超級計算機,一臺自動偵查情報的一體化分析機(ARIIA;配音朱利安·摩爾)??祭固亓粝卤巳R茲與少校威廉姆·鮑曼(安索尼·麥基飾)和ARIIA一起清理伊森·肖恩的調查。與此同時,瑞秋和杰瑞已經知道,他們的神秘女人實際上是ARIIA,她在憲法的授權下為國防部招募公民,所以“激活”了他們兩人。
彼萊茲和鮑曼找到了伊森·肖恩死亡的那天晚上留在ARIIA密閉空間里的證據。在他們離開,去向考利斯特部長匯報情況之后,ARIIA把杰瑞和瑞秋偷運進了五角大樓下方的觀測廳。兩組人馬都意識到,在ARIIA的建議被忽略,從而搞砸了一次俾路支地區(qū)的行動,導致一些美國公民的死亡后,ARIIA得出結論:“為防止更多的流血事件發(fā)生,行政部門必須被除去。”這個行動以“我們民眾”為代表,并援引《獨立宣言》(“當任何形式的政府對這些目標有破壞作用時,人民便有權力改變或廢除它”),ARIIA遵照《愛國者法案》第216章“在面對國家安全威脅時,允許人們除掉危險根源,在這里,這個根源就是指揮層本身。”
但他們察覺得太晚了,杰瑞已經被ARIIA帶來去解開由杰瑞的孿生弟弟鎖定的以阻止系統(tǒng)啟動“斷頭臺計劃”的生物識別系統(tǒng),一個演示政府在失去所有繼任者之后如何運作的軍事仿真系統(tǒng)。由于考利斯特部長在俾路支地區(qū)的問題上與ARIIA一樣,都贊同終止行動,所以他被選擇成為環(huán)己烷在國會爆炸后的指定生還者。
ARIIA的一名特工(尼克·斯艾絲)在五角大樓帶走了瑞秋,然后給了她一件在國會上穿的連衣裙以及環(huán)己烷項鏈。薩姆學校的樂隊也被重新安排在國會大廈為總統(tǒng)演奏,同時帶來了薩姆小號內的觸發(fā)器和炸藥。特工摩根帶走了杰瑞,他確信杰瑞是無辜的。他把自己的武器和能夠進入國會大廈的ID給了杰瑞,然后犧牲了自己去阻擋ARIIA派來的武裝切割機MQ-9。杰瑞在被特勤處擊中和打傷之前,用手槍朝空中射擊,阻止了音樂會的進行。
幾天后,考利斯特部長發(fā)表報告稱,ARIIA已經退役,而且他堅決反對再建另外一個ARIIA,肖恩兄弟,特工彼萊茲和摩根因他們的行為而受到獎勵,在最后一幕,杰瑞參加了薩姆的生日聚會,他得到了瑞秋的感謝和親吻。

短語in the air從字面意義講,是“在空中”的意思,在文中就是這個意思,比如:I felt the elevator flying in the air. 我覺得這電梯好像在空中飛。
in the air還被引申為“(計劃、問題等)懸而未決,未定”、“(想法、謠言、消息等)在流傳中,在謠傳中”、“即將發(fā)生(或到來);被人們意識到”、“(軍事)無設防,無掩蔽”等意思,比如:The Georgia Senaterace is also still up in the air. 佐治亞州參議院競選也仍然是懸而未決。
另外,in the air也常用于口語中,是“感到疑惑,拿不準”的意思。
D.J. Caruso Interviewed by Ausser Kontrolle
I was reading about Jerry Shaw and Rachel and it was the characters that really attracted me to it. And once I got hooked to the characters and was reading the screenplay, I didn't know what was going on and I found that very interesting. Basically it felt like this great videogame, where the characters literally had to listen to this voice and had to do these turns. And when I realized what the movie was about, all the technology and how much we use this in our everyday life and how much control we are actually giving up, it just got me.
The film is not completely fictional. The computer system in the pentagon is really, really far more stretched out than the one that they have in real life. But they have one that monitors your behaviour and if they see something unusual, they flag you and start tracking you. We obviously took it that a little further. Also the 36th Floor in the Pentagon and all those computer systems are, I do not want to say “far fetched”, but we definitely pushed that a little further to the future.
我讀到杰瑞·肖恩和瑞秋的時候,人物真的吸引了我。在讀劇本時,我對人物上了癮,我不知道發(fā)生了什么事,我覺得非常有趣?;旧衔矣X得這是一部偉大的電影游戲,角色真的不得不聽從這個聲音,不得不做這些任務。當我意識到這部電影在說些什么時,即所有的技術和我們在日常生活中使用了多少技術,我們實際上放棄的控制有多少,我被它深深吸引了。
這部電影并非完全虛構。五角大樓的電腦系統(tǒng)的的確確遠超他們在現實生活中的那個系統(tǒng),但他們有一個系統(tǒng)監(jiān)視你的行為,如果他們看到什么不尋常,他們會捕捉你,開始跟蹤你。很明顯我們在電影中將此夸大,還有五角大樓的第三十六層樓和所有那些電腦系統(tǒng),我不想說“牽強附會”,但我們肯定把它推移到更遠一些的未來。
電影中,電腦ARIIA的女性聲音是演員朱利安·摩爾(Julianne Moore)配音的。
導演卡盧索在拍攝《鷹眼》之初,就非常明確地表達了自己的一個觀點,那就是,這部影片拍攝完畢之后,堅決繞開“試映”這一常規(guī)步驟。
卡盧索表示,《鷹眼》很大程度上受到了自己之前導演的電視劇《盾牌》的影響。
