When Barkhad Abdi arrived in Minneapolis in the United States with his immigrant family in 1999, he didn’t own much. In his new film, Eye In The Sky, he owns the screen.
The drone-warfare drama features Abdi as the sole actor appearing in tense conflict on the ground. When he’s present, all the action revolves around him. The film had its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival to a standing ovation and critical plaudits.
