Eye in the Sky
Starring Helen Mirren, Aaron Paul, Alan Rickman and Barkhad Abdi, Eye in the Sky is a smart, politically charged thriller set on the cutting edge of drone warfare. When UK intelligence officer Colonel Katherine Powel (Mirren) discovers the terrorists she is tracking are planning a deadly suicide attack, her mission escalates from “capture” to “kill”.
American drone pilot Steve Watts (Paul) is poised to engage when, suddenly, a nine-year old girl enters the kill zone. With a terrific ensemble cast, Eye in the Sky deftly explores the ethical conundrum of collateral damage; should one innocent life be sacrificed to save hundreds more? Moving at a heart-racing pace, Eye in the Skytakes us into a moral and political minefield, where every decision comes at a steep price.

Terrific story beautifully told and brilliant acting. Interesting to see what goes on behind the scenes and the morality involved. It shows what a scary world this has become but the technology available is amazing.
Tense, gripping and well acted. Conflict and beurocracy make for a gripping film where real lives matter. Great stuff. RIP Alan Rickman.
