Eye in the Sky (2007)

The film rethinks the well-worn and beloved Hong Kong Cop movie genre for the surveillance age. As the earlier films of the genre were very much about doing things and the consequences of it, Eye in the Sky is about watching and the consequences of not doing.
I found this especially clear in the few action sequences of the film, which are not trying to bring us into the action as a participant, but as an observer.
The usual slickness and good to great acting of current Hong Kong cinema apply here, too.
For the most part, I highly recommend the film, only the excessive use of chance/divine intervention in the last act grates a little. Grates enough, actually, to make an essential film into a very good film.
