關於這部電影

Eye in the Sky stars Helen Mirren as Colonel Katherine Powell, a UK-based military officer in command of a top-secret drone operation to capture terrorists in Kenya. Through remote surveillance and on-the-ground intel, Powell discovers the targets are planning a suicide bombing and the mission escalates from “capture” to “kill.” But as American pilot Steve Watts (Aaron Paul) is about to engage, a nine-year old girl enters the kill zone, triggering an international dispute reaching the highest levels of US and British government over the moral, political, and personal implications of modern warfare.

評分和評論

This was a good example of how ISIS uses innocent people and converts them to their cause, (or manages to get them killed by hiding behind them) The father of the little girl's family KNEW he was living near fanatics. He even warned his daughter against angering those people. ISIS typically camps right around hospitals, mosques, churches, people they can control and hide behind. I have heard US military commentary outlining that very strategy which also frustrates them in active engagement. The only viewpoint which this movie did NOT thoroughly flesh out, was the truly insidious nature of terrorism. Those people in that suburb were most truly endangered by the presence of the terrorists. All loss of life is a regrettable thing. Do you think the base in Las Vegas was centered around some 24 hr kindergarten or WALMART for crying out loud? NO!! they are a secure, uniformed US military facility, Because we operate a LEGITIMATE MILITARY. The only people in this movie who seemed to realize that were the Admin higher ups and the two Colonels! If it would have been a US operation, I believe the child would have been sacrificed almost immediately. With less ado.

A very harsh moment-by-moment drama about the choice between saving one young life over saving dozens of others. It will make you want to punch the politicians until you realise that *nobody* wants to make decisions except those who are on the front lines. Dynamite performance by Dame Helen Mirren and a heartwrenching final role for Sir Alan Rickman. Every moment is poignant. This is NOT an action film.

Who ever put the trailer together should be ashamed. The trailer did not at all do this movie any justice. *Do Not Watch* this movie unless you are prepared to pull out your hair (figure of speech) go krazy, and be driven out of your mind watching this very well put together movie showing unprepared delays, unexpected activities, "red tape" senereos, political decision making by "passing the buck" to the next higher up characters shown in this movie. I think this movie is about an hour and thirty / forty minutes and probably 80% of the time you're watching On the Edge of Your Seat of the whole deciding making if terrorists in a room is going to be "Captured" or killed. The very ending of the movie pays tribute to an innocent character that was in the movie in a very wondering way (is how I viewed it). A Truly Intense of Watching.
