Ethan Hawke and writer-director Andrew Niccol re-team a decade after Lord of War for this psychological examination of a US fighter pilot turned drone pilot.
As he is exposed to the war against the Taliban – from a safe vantage point with a remote control in hand – moral boundaries begin to bend and his desire to go back out into the field grows with it. Co-stars January Jones (Man Men), Bruce Greenwood (Star Trek) and Zoë Kravitz (Divergent).

"Fraught and immaculate in its escalation of ideas and character friction..."

Variety
Variety"A sombre, intelligent drama that critiques Obama's ongoing drone policy while still positioning its button-pushing characters as tortured anti-heroes."
—
Time Out
Time Out"A searching, timely drama about the dehumanising effects of waging war at a distance."
—
The Telegraph
The Telegraph"Disregard the arguments for and against drone warfare advanced in "Good Kill," and the movie still makes a persuasive case that our blind infatuation with all-powerful technology is stripping us of our humanity."
—
The New York Times
The New York Times"Niccol creates an atmosphere that is airless and dull, an unusual tone for a modern war film, but one that fits the subject matter perfectly."
—
The Guardian
The Guardian"Where Niccol succeeds is in creating an atmosphere of self-loathing, both for those manning the drones and the audience watching them work."
—
Los Angeles Times
Los Angeles Times"Niccol weighs the human toll on both aggressor and target with intelligence and compassion, while questioning whether technological warfare is inevitably destined to be an unending cycle."
