Movie #1172 “Eye in the Sky”
Movie #1172 “Eye in the Sky” is a tight and tense drama about the use of drones and the ethics involved. Boy, this film pulls you in, but after , in my opinion, too long of an exposition. I takes a while to take off, but when it does, it goes full speed ahead. It was nice, also, to watch Alan Rickman in his last movie role —- and he nails his last line! We are going to miss him! Helen Mirren is able to show a very layered main character who is trying to get everyone to agree with her for the benefit of the majority (which everyone learns takes sacraficies, but does it have to be a little girl selling bread?) A really good story that I highly recommend. I’d give it 4 stars out of 5.
