Good Kill

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

"A sombre, intelligent drama that critiques Obama's ongoing drone policy while still positioning its button-pushing characters as tortured anti-heroes."

"A searching, timely drama about the dehumanising effects of waging war at a distance."

"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."

"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."

"Where Niccol succeeds is in creating an atmosphere of self-loathing, both for those manning the drones and the audience watching them work."

"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."
