eye in the sky that pumps up the pressure
Set during the war against terror, the countries rally together to capture a known terrorist. Britain, America and Kenya agree to capture, not kill, a British citizen that is now on a terrorist 'kill' list. The action is seen through the eyes of the British (Helen Mirren and the late Alan Rickman) and via an unmanned drone, the eye in the sky of the title. When they witness the terrorists arming two suicide bombers, Mirren's character asks for the 'capture' order to be changed to a 'kill' order. You then see the wheel's of bureaucracy begin to turn as each group looks at the strike from a legal and political viewpoint. Once the order has been changed another spanner is thrown in the works when a local girl comes into the projected blast radius selling bread and the wranglings begin again. This is a super intense thriller with sterling performances from Mirren and a frustrated performance from Rickman who plays the general with his hands tied by politicians. Well worth a watch.
