Eye In The Sky (2016)

Here's a thriller about military personnel debating about a drone strike that was a lot better than I'd thought it be. In fact it is actually really good and probably one of the best modern warfare based films I've seen. Is it heavy handed? yes, but it is also tense and very engaging especially for a film that is mainly just people debating and arguing. It has solid performances from a good cast that includes Helen Mirren, Aaron Paul and Alan Rickman in his last (live action) film role. It displays the different arguments whether political, legal or personal to do with the films proposed drone strike and ultimately creates a discussion for the audience about this serious issue, though the film does clearly have a bias at the end.Overall though this was a really solid, that I enjoyed considerably. ***1/2
