Steineded How sad is this?

Stoutor It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

leethomas-11621 Powerful gripping drama with faultless acting from Mumford and O'Leary. SPOILER: The "iron" is only dropped when for Mumford it becomes personal. Okay, so O'Leary's role reversal isn't totally convincing but this is a drama about ideas and the positions people take to adjust to their situations. And of course we are left to wonder if the target was a terrorist.

siu_mor Terrible, terrible movie. Worked in the UAV field and have been involved in a kill chain before. This is a horrible reflection on how we conduct ourselves as a military and is not accurate at all. FYI, pilot in command ultimately has the right to decide to engage or not and killing civilians is the last thing that the military ever wants. This is nothing short of propaganda. There are things called rules of war and there are serious repercussions for killing civilians. I am not saying it has never happened that a civilian was killed, but I can certainly say it is not allowed to simply shoot whenever, however with no regard for that. To suggest that we would kill a bunch of kids for the sake of a single guy without any hesitation is really disgraceful and shameful. Oh and just a historical fact since I have a degree in history... We killed civilians by the thousands during WWI and WWII. Today's fighting features far less civilian casualties than "The Greatest Generation's" war. Next time, do more research Hollywood!

Marc Winter There might be admittedly a deeper message in this movie - but the way it is presented (cover etc) one might wait for an action/war movie.Instead your getting a discussion between two very dull characters sitting in a container, watching a video screen - in feature length. Under pretense of coolness the actors try (and fail) to transport any kind of feeling/reaction.No action whatsoever, this seems to be some kind of no-budget movie which isn't even very ambitious. The storyline is so predictable that one could stop watching after 10 minutes without missing anything.If I had watched this in cinema, I would have left after half an hour.

captaincastile Not too many movies really make me think. This one did.I don't know what motivated the people that made this film, but their work stuck me much deeper than I expected.The main characters are two soldiers in a military installation where they are assigned to man a drone spy plane. They are searching for the "enemy" and when they find one the drone is equipped with weapons to "take them out." That's their job; find 'em and kill 'em. All with the push of a button.Causing collateral damage (killing innocent civilians) is supposed to be just another part of the job. After all, the good outweighs the bad because the people they kill, will themselves kill even more innocents - think 911 - if they're not stopped.This is a new form of warfare. In the "old days" you just dropped a bomb from the sky and never saw the people you incinerated. But now, super high definition cameras display the faces of the people you are about to turn into human hamburger on your computer monitor; up close and personal.The drone team think they have spotted a super enemy. A high ranking member of the Al-Qaeda that is a must kill. There's only one problem: there are a house full of innocents at the same location. This includes women and children; even a baby.Conscience begins to surface. Do they kill a dozen innocents to get this one enemy, or not? Think about what you know of Nazi soldiers who explained their actions by saying they were "just following orders."The find and kill operation takes two people to complete. One cannot fire the kill shot without the other being in compliance. Listen to the kill or don't kill conversation between our two soldiers. Ask yourself the same questions that they ask. What would you do?Don't get me wrong. I support the military. I am grateful for the men and women that have made the decision to; if necessary, lay down their lives to defend and protect this country. That means your life, my life, and the lives of all the people we know and love. Many heroic men and women have already laid down their lives in the service of their country. They deserve to be honored, they deserve our respect, they deserve our gratitude. They have mine.But this film raises moral questions about how we fight Al-Qaeda that did not exist when we fought our enemies of the past. Push button warfare. How much "collateral damage" is acceptable? Is it acceptable at all? Is there a point of depreciating returns where we become as bad; or even worse than our enemies? Take a look at the IMDb listing of the "stars" of this film. See who is ranked first, second and third. There is a reason for it.
