“Eye In The Sky” — SUPERIOR

Alan Rickman Eye In The SkyJust as I could not recommend the ridiculous film “Batman v Superman,” so must I highly recommend the UK film “Eye In The Sky.”

The late Alan Rickman delivers what will likely be the most coveted line in movie history just prior to a passing.

“Never tell a soldier that he does not know the cost of war.”

And perhaps it couldn’t have occurred to a finer British actor, given the range of his talents and the shocking news of his demise via pancreatic cancer at the age of 69.

I’ll leave it to you to determine which parts of the film are accurate, and which parts are not

The parts with the pussified and limp-wristed politicians unwilling to make an actual decision that could fire back on them?

Yes, that’s accurate.

The parts of the USAF drone pilots having to set up the complicated preparations to unleash missiles with murky ROEs?  Inaccurate.  Too long.  Too open.

Truth?  If drone pilots question their jobs, they can and will be replaced.  Further?  They wouldn’t be there in the first place if they questioned their missions.

If the good Lord could send me some comets, I could perhaps suggest a few locales, otherwise.
