Eye in the Sky

The plot is fairly simple, launch the missile to stop some nasty suicide bombers but kill a young girl in the process or let them go where they could most likely kill many, many more.
This film is done in almost real time and spans almost the whole world with Coronal Katharine Powell (Helen Mirren) in command, the one who wants the Syrian terrorists, living in Kenya killed, including previous British nationalist who turned when she was young. But it is the Americans, including the pilots Steve and Carrie (Aaron Paul and Phoebe Fox) who have the titlular eye in the sky and the missile to launch when given the word while the Kenyans have some ground forces including Barkhad Abdi who might have a character name.
The little girl is selling bread right in front of the house where the terrorists are loading up their suicide vests and though Abdi tries to buy her bread, his true identity is almost uncovered and the girl merely picks up the fallen loaves and continues selling while Steve simply can't while the girl is in range of most likely ending up dead, which once again sets off a whole international debate with the British having the biggest issue while the American Secretary of State doesn't mind a few minor deaths if the main people are eliminated.
In the end, the missile's position is moved but needs to launched again to kill one of the targets and the poor little girl dies in the crude Kenyan hospital with Steve and Carrie having tears streak down their cheeks. But they did probably save many more lives.
The acting is top-notch including Alan Rickman as another military man who is on Powell's side but has to convince the government officials and legal that this move is the proper one. The dialogue is also great and the plot is tight and realistically done looking at the decisions from all angles.
It would be nice to get some background on the characters especially as to why Steve can't aim the missile once he sees the little girl, but nevertheless the film is intense and heart-wrenching and will force you to think about things differently and will leave you wondering if the right decision was actually made?
