Director Gavin Hood works the tension and the moral uncertainty to good effect but at times the film feels schematic and too much like revision.

It's hard to watch the film and not vacillate between wanting them to act, and wanting them to stand down.

Hood and Hibbert's procedural is a crackerjack affair in all the ways that count, and it's safe to say it looks at this hot button issue in a way certain to get audiences talking afterward.

“Eye in the Sky” is well-intentioned, but boring AF and probably would make a better television series than film because then the characters could be three-dimensional instead of archetypes.
