Go see Eye In The Sky with Helen Mirren: Doesn't take sides, but is ethically challenging. No spoil

I don't want to ruin it, but it will give anyone a serious opportunity to see exactly how difficult it is to carry out remote drone strikes and the potential cost in unintended consequences.

In this case, it was a choice between one life and possibly hundreds, so, "right" and "wrong" get seriously greyed around the choices.


The money line (not a spoiler) was "If we do nothing, we win the public relations game. But it will definitely cost many lives."

Exceptionally honest, straight-forward film making without any bias but lots of compassion. A thinker's film. Beautiful.

Great final role for Alan Richman. Rest in peace.

1. It is an absolutely amazing film one of the best I have seen in awhile.

Without spoilers Helen Mirren is a Colonel in British Army Intelligence, and Alan Richman is her boss who is a 3-star General.

2. Saw it last week

It could be called a psychological thriller movie. The suspense is exciting. It's hard to take sides on the moral questions which are the basis of the movie. Ah, and Alan Rickman.... it's a great final role but makes one sad to think that it IS his final role.
