Directed by Gavin Hood
A UK-based military officer in command of a top secret drone operation to capture terrorists in Kenya discovers the targets are planning a suicide bombing and the mission escalates from “capture” to “kill.” As American pilot Steve Watts 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,… From TMDB

60 of 75 · most liked firstfull metal jacket hot take much like fight club and every anti war movie is yeah they’re misunderstood by the right but the appeal stems from the camaraderie this is partly why the excellent Eye in the Sky, which everyone should watch, is the only anti war film that manages to not be pro war
positive · AI labelView post →Next up before movie time, “Eye in the Sky” By The Alan Parsons Project. Boy, the full stereo system sure sounds good!
neutral · AI labelView post →Excellent double entendre with the film ‘Eye in the Sky’ for #WeekFforFilms in the #AlphabetChallenge and the #FebruARTy theme #eyes. Also a great photograph of an elephant’s eye! Score!
neutral · AI labelView post →and i think this is also true for anti war films in the same way, and a good movie that manages to avoid glorification, sense of purpose, and is extremely isolating for the main character is Eye in the Sky. i think you could absolutely do it for a anti hero outside of the anti war genre
positive · AI labelView post →This 'Eye in the Sky' movie clip conflates NCV with collateral damage estimate (CDE), but if you mentally replace CDE with NCV you get the idea. NCV just tells us *which commander* is to make proportionality decisions.
neutral · AI labelView post →Purely my opinion but no: DADOES was written during his peak “cranking out 5 novels a year on meth to pay the bills” period, was basically a mashup of two earlier short stories, and wouldn’t be considered notable if they hadn’t adapted it into a movie. Start with “UBIK” or “Eye in the Sky.”
neutral · AI labelView post →TRIVIA: ‘Eye In The Sky’ was the last live-action film to feature Alan Rickman, who passed away on January 14, 2016. The film was dedicated to his memory. (Wikipedia) 🖤
neutral · AI labelView post →A few years ago I saw a film called Eye In The Sky, where most of the plot is about the legality of dropping a Hellfire on a terrorist cell in a populated area. I remember thinking it was perhaps a bit overdone, but recent events are tending to show that force without legal oversight is a Bad Thing.
neutral · AI labelView post →I used to make a joke whenever Top Gun came up that it was more of a Navy movie and people would be like "Okay what's the Air Force movie?" and I would joke that it was Transformers but the real answer is Eye in the Sky.
neutral · AI labelView post →ktp switching her opinion on the objective greatness of Eye in the Sky as an antiwar movie
neutral · AI labelView post →if you don’t want to your film/show to glorify war or <insert choice topic> you gotta cut out comradery. this is why Eye in the Sky (2015) is the only anti war movie that manages to not glorify war. Its also why imo fight club is so popular with people it’s satirizing
positive · AI labelView post →Finally #w THE SHADOW'S EDGE & was surprised to find its a remake of the excellent Eye In The Sky, which Korea remade as Eagle Eye. Its a film I love, so a version with the action turned up to 11 is definitely welcome! Not just Jackie's best film for ages, but his best acting too. #Actionsky

neutral · AI labelView post →Tonight's film here at Tuckingham Palace is Gavin Hood's portrait of a drone strike, Eye In The Sky (2015).
neutral · AI labelView post →The Eye in the Sky film has a similar thing as a plot point and its a great thing for students to wrestle with.
neutral · AI labelView post →Yeah, I think there needs to be at least one fairly popular film about Ukraine or another modern drone war to get the idea out there. I guess there's Eye in the Sky, but that's set in a different era and the story is mostly about British people being indecisive.
negative · AI labelView post →it’s not my fav of his but i’m going with his last film, Eye in the Sky it’s the only war movie I can think of that manages to avoid being pro war. There’s no glory, purpose, and importantly comradery to be had at all.

Jackie Chan training police officers how to surveil targets is fun. I think Tony Leung Ka-fai steals the show here as the merciless mastermind.

neutral · AI labelView post →I haven’t seen Eye In the Sky, but the bit about most anti-war movies end up glorifying war is correct. My pick for actually-anti-war movie is Paths Of Glory. There is nothing cool or noble in its depiction at all
neutral · AI labelView post →I recall the movie Eye in the Sky (which was about drone warfare) had an insect sized spy drone. At the time it looked a bit sci-fi. Now there really is such a drone.

positive · AI labelView post →You remember that movie with Helen Mirren called Eye in the Sky? It's time to start engineering some of this bullshit and using it on people that are in positions they ought not to be in. When Hollywood make believe should be reality. www.imdb.com/title/tt2057...

neutral · AI labelView post →I will also agree, but I also want to give a shout-out to Rickman's role in "Eye in the Sky" too (which honestly strikes me as a bit of an underrated movie all aroubd, really).
positive · AI labelView post →my spicy take on this, which came from why i think Eye in the Sky(2015) works so well as one of the only antiwar movie that doesn’t glorify war, is that its not misunderstanding them, which sure plenty of them do, but the appeal of friendships and purpose they offer Its the same thing with this imo
positive · AI labelView post →They already made a variation on this movie, it had Helen Mirren, it was called Eye in the Sky, it was good.

neutral · AI labelView post →I know it's a parenthetical, but Israeli military trainers saw Eye In The Sky and said yes, please? A movie about the toll of drone warfare??
neutral · AI labelView post →This movie wanted to be Eye in the Sky crossed with Extraction, and sometimes it sort of is, but I don’t think it understands the beautiful absurdity of the scene Robert is describing so it’s better than either of those movies.
neutral · AI labelView post →I've not seen Eye in the Sky (and not available here) but I was shocked by the sheer amount of dialogue in what was an action film. I have no issue with dialogue, but much of it was white noise.

neutral · AI labelView post →Rickman was political until his last days. His last onscreen performance was with Helen Mirren in the drama Eye in the Sky, which he had described as "a film about the moral responsibilities governments face regarding the use of drones."
neutral · AI labelView post →The last paragraph perfectly sums up my feelings toward the Andrew Powell (Alan Parsons) score for LADYHAWKE. I love that Donner was scouting locations while grooving Eye In The Sky then couldn't separate the album from the movie so *boom* that's the sound of the flick. Cue: decades of hate😂
positive · AI labelView post →I'm put in mind of the film "Eye in the Sky"... (Brilliant film, and Alan Rickman's last performance. Not that that's relevant.) Without the ethical quandary of harm reduction there would be no film.
positive · AI labelView post →Eye in the Sky is a super great film and I'm surprised I didn't hear more about it

neutral · AI labelView post →Eg “If we don’t take these guys out, they’ll intentionally kill a whole lot of non-combatants; those non-combatants weigh in our proportionality calculus” The movie Eye in the Sky with Helen Mirren discusses this very well.

neutral · AI labelView post →True, but if positioning a high value target next to civilians or their infrastructure protected them, it would encourage that. It's in the #movie, 'Eye in the Sky' & armies have methods to calculate whether a target is worth the collateral damage. #Israel www.youtube.com/watch?v=3wkf...
