“Eye in the Sky” is a ticktock thriller in which the British military and government officials have hours to decide whether to order a bombing strike on terrorists in Kenya. Embedded within that suspense is the movie’s real point. It aims to present multiple views on the new realities of war—from the military, politicians and bystanders—in a world of drone technology and enemies who are ideological rather than geographical.
