'Good Kill': More to Vegas than poker chips . . .
Posted by Billy Wonka on April 20, 2015 at 16:43:52:
Ethan Hawke plays an Air Force Major and drone pilot stationed at the drone complex outside of Vegas. We see early on what he does and how it works, then mission creep starts building and finally his crew is forced to take orders from Christians In Action. The CIA has them flying outside the prescribed war zone and changes their targeting to almost anything that looks suspicious. This wears the good Major down and causes big problems with his wife (January Jones) and family. Ultimately, Hawke starts screwing up missions out of conscience and his career careens down hill.
This is a low-key film with Hawke, Jones, Greenwood, and Zoe Kravitz. I feel like this is a form of propaganda showing drone pilots do more than play games all day. They kill people and see it up close.
I even gave a cocked-eye to the recent creation of special medals for drone guys but now I'm okay with it. See, propaganda can be successful.
