Review of Eye in the Sky (2015) by Brent_Marchant — 20 Mar 2016
A suspenseful modern wartime thriller that debates the alleged "ethics" of combat with an interesting mix of tense drama and biting satire a la "Dr. Strangelove." The film admittedly drags a bit in the first 45 minutes, but, once the basic thrust of the story and its means for telling it become apparent, the picture becomes both gripping and humorous in a highly distinctive way.
Helen Mirren, Aaron Paul and Alan Rickman give terrific performances in a chilling yet thought-provoking tale that gives us much to ponder about the nature of combat and its morality (if such a notion is even possible).
