They can ban it but it'll still be available on all streaming sites.

Looks good.

But not filmed in Kenya. Was done in South Africa.

Just watched this movie, its factually very wrong in all aspects.

From how they depict Eastleigh, Parklands, Ruaka Engineering!

Baaas, this was my feeling as well.
Yaani the burukenges depict Eastleigh to be just like parts of Somalia where the terrorists roam around in 'technicals' - those landruiser pick-ups with guns at the back. And parts of it as exclusive terrorist fiefdoms kabisaa.

Like seriously?
Such balderdash.
Shenzi kabisa. Mafi ya ndege.
Why take Som conditions in the rural parts and project them on a Nbi suburb?

But these misrepresentations happen a lot in movies - Ogas howled like madmen due to some scenes in Tears in the Sun movie while Rwandans protested Hotel Rwanda did not tell it quite like it really happened.
Plus there is often a lot of propaganda - like exaggerating weapon performance and making the world believe Uncle Sam ndio baba yao ya dunia mzima n without them we are finished.

Nonetheless I found Eye in the Sky riveting - esp. the drone techn.
My poignant and most dramatic moment are the missiles trajectory, and precision on impact and esp when the 2nd Hellfire missile is aimed directly at a crawling female terrorist and fired...imagine the sheer force of a 45kg projectile hurtling at slightly above the speed of sound (Mach 1.3)...it doesn't even need to explode on impact to shatter to smithereens anything on harm's way!

Now you know what they think of the ka place. Only when they come here they want to buried hapa, no going back to their cities . Strange how human beings can create a bias for what they don't know.
