Review of Eye in the Sky (2007) by Greg B — 06 Apr 2016
"Eye in the sky" is a political/war drama about a British intelligence agent (Helen Mirren) who receives Intel that top East African terrorists are all residing in a house in Nairobi, Kenya. The task force is getting ready to bomb the house with a drone when their surveillance notices a girl selling bread by the house.
The film turns into a compelling look at the philosophy of morality and the weighing of the loss of collateral damage against the risk for larger loss of life. Mirren and company refer up to get approval as to when to fire the bombs because of the moral implications there would be to bomb the house with the girl in such close proximity.
I thought the movie presented a humanistic and fascinating look at the political and social implications of their decision and showed that there is great cost in war ---------------------------------------------- B.
