Reviews

Entertainment Weekly -
Aaron Paul has key scenes as the drone pilot who actually has to pull the trigger, but it’s the late Alan Rickman, as Mirren’s superior, who steals the film.
|
|
Variety -
A rivetingly suspenseful drama that deftly intertwines elements of ticking-clock thriller and tragic farce.
|
|
New York Post -
South African director Gavin Hood (“X-Men Origins: Wolverine’’) pulls off some really tricky tonal shifts.

The Guardian -
Eye in the Sky aims to thrill and covertly manages to inform simultaneously.

|
