Aug 02, 2016 As in “Good Kill 2015,” it dwells on the morality and legality of lethal drone warfare when collateral killings of civilians are involved. As the decision makers arguing and plotting inside buildings around the world, the fate…

Kept my attention though didn't buy into any of the emotions of the US operators of armed drones. One can only wonder what they were signing up for. Otherwise an interesting look-see into how decisions are made regards "taking out" bad…

Watch the first 5 min. then FF to the last 5. The entire movie is NOTHING but arguing over the internet if we should target a house sheltering high level terrorists. No wonder we've lost every war since Viet Nam. The focus is on 'I need…

Great movie except for the American characters. They seemed out of place and not very professional. Alan Rickman, of course, stole the movie...

Rated 8/10. This movie appears to give a realistic account of the use of a drone in a terrorist action. Overall, I thought it was well done. Good acting by all.

A thinking person's movie and well worth watching. You are handed nothing on a silver platter but the problem at hand - namely, how do you behave when none of the options are acceptable to everyone making the decision. Thoughtfully…

This war film goes into the controversies of violence and what is deemed to be moral and logical, and what is deemed to be evil and unnecessary. The movie is about two army officials who decide to air strike suicide bombers in Kenya,…

Directed by Gavin Hood in 2015, this British war-against-terrorists drama delves into the ethical challenges of drone warfare. Some of the advanced technologies depicted are not yet out in the field. Many are, however, only a few years…

Long, drawn-out, and can I take an hour-and-a-half to say, boring?

Eye in the Sky is (to my knowledge) the first major movie to tackle the logistics and ethics of drone warfare. It does so as an edge-of-your-seat thriller told in real time, and the results are a heavy examination of the morality of modern…

A taut, edge-of-your seat suspense-drama with riveting acting; about terrorists, James Bond-like spy gadgets, drone strikes, and a new take on the “fat man and trolley problem” – a moral conundrum. Will cause discussions for sure.

An excellent, riveting movie. I enjoyed it so much I've watched it twice.

War often has little to no answers: only more and more questions. The film is a fantastic thriller. Performances by talented stars such as Alan Rickman will stick in your mind just as much as the compelling ethical questions that the movie…

An agonizing study of moral dilemma and chain of command turmoil. Dramatically taut. Tense action. I do find the almost universal concern for the life of one civilian hard to believe or swallow. Realistically, the military mind must be…

An excellent examination of ethical decision-making and action within the complexity of the military and government structures. Great thriller!

god these British were annoying. but yeah the movie is about a utilitarian philisophical question. Should you sacrifice many for one? Or sacrifice one for many? Or not do anything and let fate decide the option for you? The girl pissed…

Since I mainly watch documentaries, I was skeptical of the strong recommendation friends gave to this movie. It was very well done and I thought the acting was very good. Of course, I don't know how realistic the scenario is, or how…

Very well done movie about the personal costs of war. A look from all sides (except that of the terrorists) at the consequences of the decisions made. War is always terrible and this movie is heartbreaking on so many levels. The actions…

This is a very realistic and disturbing portrayal of war, the decisions that must be made, and the consequences of those decisions. If this was a must see for every voter, out nation may slow down voting war mongers into office.
