Reviews


91
Entertainment Weekly - Leah Greenblatt
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.
90
Variety - Joe Leydon
A rivetingly suspenseful drama that deftly intertwines elements of ticking-clock thriller and tragic farce.
88
New York Post - Lou Lumenick
South African director Gavin Hood (“X-Men Origins: Wolverine’’) pulls off some really tricky tonal shifts.

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

The Hollywood Reporter - John DeFore
