That’s amazing how life can turn everything its own way. Just like in these two movies opening today. Both of them tell us about two people who find themselves in new circumstances. They both have their own stories and their own reasons to escape, but life or destiny, whatever you call it, brings them together and helps them find answers. The only term to follow is they must stick together to change their lives for good. And find what they’re looking for, of course.
Eagle Eye starring Shia LaBeouf, Michelle Monaghan, Rosario Dawson, and Billy Bob Thornton is a thriller about two strangers thrown together by a strange call from a woman they have never met. Jerry Shaw (LaBeouf) has just lost his twin brother and Rachel Holloman (Monaghan) is a single mom, so they suddenly find out they’re fitted up as terrorists, and are threatened into becoming members of a group aiming to assassinate a politician. They must stick together to find out what’s really happening and why they’re involved.
Nights in Rodanthe is surely different from Eagle Eye but it also deals with two lonely souls looking for answers to questions torturing them. It’s romance helping them make the right choices and actually changing their lives for ever.
Richard Gere plays a doc who comes to Rodanthe on his way to reconcile with his son when suddenly a storm stops him from going on with his journey and thus he stays in an inn in the small city in North Carolina to meet Adrienne Willis (Diane Lane) who’s come to the inn to find the tranquility she needs to rethink her life and deal with the conflicts surrounding her. They have each other to start something that will resonate throughout the rest of their lives.
