Eye in the Sky

"An effective dramatization of one of modern warfare's most complex quandaries (...) this picture satisfies fully on entertainment terms without cheapening its real-world concerns" 

"A rivetingly suspenseful drama that deftly intertwines elements of ticking-clock thriller and tragic farce." 

"['Eye in the Sky'] works equally well as a nail-biting thriller, a dark political satire and a smart examination of the ethics of remote-control war (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of four)" 

"'Eye In The Sky' doesn’t always get it right, and sometimes makes some wrong-footed moves, but it opens a discussion and study of how we engage in acts of war that doesn’t happen often in the mainstream media" 

"'Eye in the Sky' asks a provocative question: Does conscience still figure in modern warfare? Rickman, in his last onscreen role, takes on the issue with the brilliance and bracing humanity that marked his career (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)" 

"A grim, suspenseful farce in which unpredictable human behavior repeatedly threatens an operation of astounding technological sophistication" 

"What could have been a disturbing treatise on how wars are fought in the digital age ends up a simplistic commentary on how movies sacrifice pertinent issues for the sake of a laugh (...) Rating: ★ ★ (out of four)"
