The first trailer for Eye In The Sky coould not have come at a more resonant time.
With the aftermath of the Paris attacks and the UK goverment’s decision to take military action in Syria still troubling our collective consciousness, this dramatic thriller reflects the global terrorism crisis onscreen.
Helen Mirren plays London-based military intelligence officer, Colonel Katherine Powell, tasked with remotely commanding a top secret drone operation to capture a group of terrorists from their safe-house in Nairobi, Kenya.
When it becomes clear these terrorists are about to embark on a suicide bombing mission, Powell’s objective changes from capture to kill, but when a child enters the kill zone, the decision to strike gets pushed up the power ladder of politicians and lawyers with time running out.
