Things I Thought to Myself While Watching This Movie:
“Thats right Mr. Peterson, listen to everything the mysterious phone tells you to do. I am sure it has no dastardly motive at all.”
“Hey Mr. FBI man, texts and sms messages ARE THE SAME THING!!!”

The Drinking Game:
Take a drink every time this movie reminds you of the movie Eagle Eye.

Thoughts Of The Main Character As It Fades To Credits:
“'Say hi to mother'? Wait! Yuri and I are related?!”

Quote:
"Nice to see youre still a prick" "Nice tie"
"Do you know what the 3 most important words in politics are" "No sir" "Dont get caught"

Summarization of Movie in One or Two Sentences:
Echelon Conspiracy: AKA, Eagle Eye without Shia LaBeouf.

Stereotypes Portrayed:
Computer nerds can type 200 words a minute and all Russian guys have to be named either Yuri, Viktor, Or Ivan

This Movie Brought To You By:
Half of a blueberry muffin, a cup noodle with extra carrots added, and a Jarritos soda

Final Rating:
I give this movie 2 ½ power overloads via a belt buckle out of 5

Things You Might Have Missed By Leaving To Make A Sandwich During The Movie:
Knocking out the power with a belt, making insane bets at casinos because a phone told you to, pointing at an estranged stair well on a surveillance screen and knowing EXACTLY where it is, a guy that kinda sounds like the Alstate commercial guy, convincing a computer that it is doing the wrong thing, a crappy attempt at a twist ending, and FINALLY: starting off the movie on a tense note in which someone get nailed by a train...and then breaking into a poppy, indie rock song.

Hudson Hawk

Final Rating:
I give this movie 2 ½ unlikely animal rivalries out of 5

Things You Might Have Missed By Leaving To Make A Sandwich During The Movie:
Sharksicle, a foot and a half long sharks tooth, randomly cutting to black and white, using the same shot over and over again, pronouncing "Feng Shui" as "Fang Shui", the stereotype that all chemicals when mixed change colors, neon glowing pheromones, giant shark taking a bite out of the golden gate bridge while the military literally just sits there, huge tentacles slapping a fighter jet out of the sky, and FINALLY: megashark jumping out of the water and taking out a 747 jet with its teeth
