Sobering and dislocating story of modern day drone warfare and its impacts on the various actors involved.Once again, Niccol's thoughtful script leads us into darker temptations - especially once Christians in Action get involved with the missions (a revealing expansion of the acronym, CIA). Unlike his previous films, however, it does take a bit more of a tell rather than show approach.
Although critical on balance, it does reveal the sometimes surprising benefits of drone warfare. For example, infantry are able to get a good night's sleep because a drone is keeping look out.
Verdict: Thought-provoking suspense.
