Greg Helton If you're excited by the war on terror and want to be lectured on the morality of the drone war circa 2010 then you might enjoy this movie but only if you have a high tolerance for boredom. This movie has the soldier's stereotypical messy home life, stereotypical moral dilemmas, stereotypical PTSD and stereotypical problems with self-medication. I've liked January Jones' acting in other roles but in this role she is devoid of sincerity. Will Ethan Hawke;s character rebel from his immoral assignment? Will his marriage survive? Will he get together with the hot enlisted woman? So many questions we don't care about.

debwarren-58436 So much better than that Helen Mirren 2015 p.o.s. Eye-in-the-sky propaganda piece. Before the limited release of "Good Kill" in 2015, I saw it advertised in Tribute magazine, and kept waiting for it to come out. Now in 2017, just saw another great Ethan Hawke acting-choice "Maudie", and thought, "Hey, where is that drone movie?"... then ordered "Good Kill" DVD. If you want to understand why, "Good Kill" is the better movie, then read every book ever written by Peter Dale Scott.Enough said. Thanks to all the brave people who made this movie happen. An important record that will stand the test of time, and inform future generations about how barbaric our civilisation is.

SnoopyStyle Major Thomas Egan (Ethan Hawke) is a F-16 pilot married to Molly (January Jones) with two kids. He is currently flying drones and going home to his family. He would like to go back to flying F-16s but the Air Force is changing. He is disconnected from his wife. His commander Lt. Colonel Jack Johns (Bruce Greenwood) bemoans the lost of real flying and the recruiting of video game playing kids. They are put under the command of a CIA controller only as a voice over the phone. New airman Vera Suarez (Zoë Kravitz) starts questioning the ethics of the missions. The constant moral ambiguity drives Thomas into a decline.This is a movie about one moral ambiguity of war. It's not that subtle. Ethan Hawke delivers a solid performance. At the end of the day, he's killing people whether he's flying a drone or flying a fighter jet. The movie advocates against something that may not be agreeable to all audiences. It's not a great enough film to transcend that divide.

markusdax Yet another "the US is the bad guy" film, that in its over simplified world view that Hollywood continues to force feed the public. The dialog between Military rank and file is ridiculous in its insubordination. Conversations replace ORDERS, and the Film would have you believe it's normal to have lengthy discussions via speakerphone between the NAMELESS CIA operator and the men and women taking orders MID-STRIKE. MIGRANE inducing and laughable if it were not so believable by some to be the way real War is conducted.It's a shame, there is a decent movie in there some where...but fear of Patriotism seems to do nothing but create another misleading propaganda piece about the evil American Military.This movie is offensively unrealistic.
