Eagle Eye

Cast: Shia LaBeouf, Michelle Monaghan and Rosario Dawson
Release date: September 26
Why you should see it: LaBeouf and Monaghan play a son and his mother who are being blackmailed into helping plot a political assassination. If they don't go along with the orders of a mysterious woman who seems to know their every move, she'll have them killed.
Box office bottom line: The surprise hit that was the thriller Disturbia put this thriller on the fast track. That could mean the script and production were hurriedly slapped together, but LaBeouf has proven that he has the acting chops to pull off a smart action-guy performance, so it's a safe bet this one will open big.
