“In war, truth is the first casualty,” Aeschylus assures us on the opening crawl of Eye In The Sky. The nudging placement of this Classics-seminar quotation can’t help but feel pretentious, but in fact there’s something authentically Socratic about Gavin Hood’s new thriller. At times, the dialogue gets downright dialectical as various American and British officers and functionaries plan an air strike against a houseful of Kenyan terrorists. The grim irony at the heart of Guy Hibbert’s screenplay is that getting military-starred middle-managers to authorize a tactical strike is as grueling as any garden-variety bureaucratic sign-off.
With the new The Crow remake coming soon, we take a look back at the 30-year-old cult classic original–and where the stars are now.
Kaam Chalu Hai Review: Based on true events, this movie is thought-provoking and inspiring
Rebel Moon Part 2 Review: This movie doesn't feel anything new or worth remembering, which is a shame.
So sad to see any Alan Rickman films lately, but what it makes every performance of his much more special than this film is as a whole.
