Movie Review: EYE IN THE SKY

My name is Jacob, and I'm the new writer at Merc With a Movie Blog. I hope you guys enjoy what I have to say!

We all love war films, and Eye In The Sky is a morally complex look at the other side of modern warfare, and all of the political, legal and emotional conundrums that go with it. Through riveting dialogue and a refreshing lack of emotional manipulation, director Gavin Hood naturally draws you into the events of the story, and connects you to the characters in spite of minimal exposition and character setup.
