Eye in the Sky





Cast: Helen Mirren(Colonel Katherine), Aaron Paul(2nd Lieutenant Steve), Alan Rickman(Lieutenant General Frank),Barkhad Abdi(Kenyan undercover agent),Iain Glen(British Foreign Secretary James),Phoebe Fox(Carrie) and Aisha Takow(Alia)
Director: Gavin Hood
Genre: War, Thriller




One film which looks more of a real story than a drama. An immersive story, must watch!




You may look forward to:
  • Helen Mirren is the major lead in the movie. She drives the film in and out and is the one responsible for the closure of this particular case. She does a very good job at it
  • Gavin Hood does an incredible job in presenting the film. Foot in mouth scenario and serious issue handling in which the complexity of making critical decisions is shown with meticulous care. Driving a decision through various hierarchies or the inability of incumbent officials to make a reasonable call depicts the close to reality actual scenarios on how the world collaborates sitting in different locations and working in shifts to have one action get executed
  • Aaron Paul and Alan Rickman have short but impactful roles. The limited dialogues they have, speaks in abundance for themselves and the positions they hold
  • Barkhad Abdi and Aisha Takow are very strong and important roles by themselves. Their performances in the situations of the written script keeps you at the edge of your seat






What you can sleep over:

Iain Glen and Phoebe Fox, along with many other actors have very limited screen space. They do what they can do




The dampeners you should be aware of:

No apparent dampener. Its a very engaging piece of work!





My Rating: 4/5
