Good Kill Trailers

In the shadowy world of drone warfare, combat unfolds like a video game–only with real lives at stake. After six tours of duty, Air Force pilot Tom Egan now fights the Taliban from an air-conditioned bunker in the Nevada desert. But as he yearns to get back in the cockpit of a real plane and becomes increasingly troubled by the collateral damage he causes each time he pushes a button, Egan’s nerves—and his relationship with his wife—begin to unravel.

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Languid expose of US drone warfare from the operators' perspective. Good intentions but lacks real tension, becomes repetitive. For me, it became too involved with effects on Major Egan's personal relationship. "Drones" is a better treatment of the same subject. Even though that film may lack some of the background (political) detail given here it is more gripping. And the Afghani targets become more real than here where they remain figures on a screen.

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.

I like this director's films, because he writes the screenplay for all his films and each were so different with cleverness in narration. Sadly, this is the first one I didn't like. It was very similar to the 'Eye in the Sky', but came before than that and with a stretched storyline. It centres on Thomas, a pilot for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) stationed at an air base in Las Vegas, but fighting combat in the middle-east. Every day he's bombing at the terrorist makes him quite uneasy when the innocents get killed. And on the other hand, failing to handle his family with his professional distress brings more complication and how it ends are the rest of the film.In my view I think the overly sentimentalised great film concept destroyed it. The emotions work fine in the war themes, but here it gives a wrong idea over battle against the terror outfits. Because of a combat officer with the sympathetic mind, that considered as the weakness of a soldier. So it all begins with the writing, if one wants to make a war film, a modern warfare, relying on this kind of storyline brings only anti sentiments from the soldier's perspective and we the people who love our nation.I understand when the main film characters are not physically present at the actual battleground, not easy to draw a good story out of it. And due to the complete absent of a soldier getting injured in a crossfire, they wend for different kind of emotional dealing. The only thing that made me sense was the sexual abuse parts and how it was taken care later. Good actors, good direction, but a weak story and shortfall of some good thrill moments makes it an average.5/10

So this movie's genre actually falls under a "thriller" and war, hence the reason I watched it. The description about a drone pilot and the Taliban is only a minor part of this story. If you are looking for action packed war drama or thriller, check out something like BHD or ZDT. This movie is solely here to show the viewer the effects that war can have on someone that isn't even on the ground in a fighting country. The effects it can have on ones family. Morality plays big in this movie and I found that the plot, even in its misdirection, was a very solid lesson for all. The title of this movie is also fantastic. Well done, good acting, a little wobbly on script, but a solid watch.
