A film about consequences that lacks consequences

Good Kill (2014)

Written & directed by Andrew Niccol this film stars Ethan Hawke, January Jones, Zoe Kravitz and Bruce Greenwood. We follow the life of a US air force drone pilot stationed in Las Vegas who attacks targets in Afghanistan.

For the most part this is a decent look at drone warfare that explores a lot of the issues around the subject but is a little preachy at times. I found the ending to be a disappointment that lacks consequences. Ethan Hawke does a good job as the pilot struggling to deal with the ramifications of his work.


3/5
