"27.7. 2019 Gavin Hood's thriller "Eye in the Sky" is based on a potentially interesting but seriously flawed premise that leaves lot to desire. In the plot a multinational team is trying to capture three terrorist leaders who are having a meeting in a safehouse in Kenya, but it appears that killing the terrorists with a missile strike is the only option.

A good movie

“Since I kept hearing some really good things about this flick, I was really eager to check it out.

" Familiar Actors: Helen Mirren Aaron Paul Babou Ceesay Alan Rickman Phoebe Fox Gavin Hood Monica Dolan Barkhad Abdi and Iain Glen True Rating: 7.8/10 Here we are with another drone movie. This one has a much more remarkable cast than Good Kill. I mean for the most part I wanted to watch this for Helen Mirren. She happens to be quite awesome as expected. Aaron Paul does great here in his role. It's a plus that it also has Alan Rickman who doesn't seem to do a whole lot here sadly. Still the a"
