Wow. This was so much better than expected. Maybe the third or fourth drone movie I have seen. By far the best. This is just a good good movie.

There are no easy decisions to make in this suspenseful film. No wonder that many drone operators suffer from PTSD. This is a good and insightful piece of filmmaking. Rest in peace Alan Rickman whose last live action film this was. I salute you sir.

Eye in the Sky wants to explore the question of drone warfare.

An operation to capture a terrorist cell in Kenya. Helen Mirren plays Colonel who is rather gung ho and wants to take out the bad guys before they do more harm.

Aaron Paul is a drone pilot who is dithering because of the risk to ci More

I was looking for a film to watch. Being a big Helen Mirren fan, I decided to give this one a go. What a great choice it was!

The fact that the entire film is in real time, meaning we watch the event as they unfold in real time, makes it a true edge-of-the-seat stuff. Acting was nothing to brag a More
