From director Gavin Hood “Eye In The Sky” stars Helen Mirren as Colonel Katherine Powell, a UK-based military officer in command of a top secret drone operation to capture terrorists in Kenya. Through remote surveillance and on-the-ground intel, Powell discovers the targets are planning a suicide bombing and the mission escalates from “capture” to “kill.” But as American pilot Steve Watts (Aaron Paul) 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, and personal implications of modern warfare.

 Also starring Alan Rickman, Barkhad Abdi, Jeremy Northam, Iain Glen and Phoebe Fox, the film is directed by Gavin Hood (TSOTSI) and written by Guy Hibbert (“Prime Suspect”). Producers are Ged Doherty, Colin Firth and David Lancaster.

 During  102 mins, the War against terrorism brings  so much tension especially when involves war and killing. Technology and war techniques are part of a well structured and precise from Colonel Katherine Powell full of a complex ethical scenario and the main victims are those who doesn’t have any role in the war. The plot unraveled makes a great thriller and justifies the Americans fight against the lawless. Definitely this film is very well illustrated that combines a smaller eye in the skies technology in a great element of action and drama.
