Review of Good Kill (2015) by Tristan M — 01 Jan 2016
A good personal story about a war that is happening on the other side of the world. Our main character is still however in the middle of it, as he pilots drones over enemy territory and blows up targets.
He has to deal with his job of killing defenceless bad guys, but also innocents that he is ordered to ignor, and his life at home that is also falling apart. It's a good movie, with a great story and well developed and in depth characters.
The pace is a little slow, but the story and characters along make up for it most of the time. The action isn't really true action, it's seen on a computer screen as villages in Afghanistan, with small bad guys waking around with guns.
Often there are many inocents, and they all go up in a huge explosion as missiles from unseen drones hit their targets. That's the centre of the movie, the hitting of civilians, and obeying orders he doesn't want to that are simply wrong, yet going home to his family at the end of the day and act normal.
It's a good watch, with more depth and story that what is expected and less action, so requires more attention.
