EYE IN THE SKY (Released to the Toronto International Film Festival Toronto Canada 2015)

 

Ben Meyers’ Rating: 4.0|5.0 Starsìììì

Eye in the Sky—not the typical war/spy movie—becomes a much higher level entertainment piece due to the casting choice of Helen Mirren for the lead role. Also watch for a good performance by Alan Rickman. While it normally would have been difficult to create a complete movie on such a small storyline, this movie did a very good job of engaging the audience in a moment of time. The camera work is very good.

Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe?

 Yes. It's a hard story that shows the auxiliary effects of war and terrorist activity. This is a good watch.
