A UK-based military officer in command of a top secret drone operation to capture terrorists in Kenya discovers the targets are planning a suicide bombing and the mission escalates from “capture” to “kill.” As American pilot Steve Watts is about to engage, a nine-year old girl enters the kill zone, triggering an international dispute reaching the highest levels of US and British government over the moral, political, and personal implications of modern warfare.

I didn't think this was going to be one I'd be able to sit through but was proved wrong. Obviously written and acted to inform those of the general public who are critics of this type of very necessary warfare, and as such it did a very reasonable job.One proviso though some of the awful overacting made me wonder why on earth some of these people joined the military in the first place. And that woman UK cabinet minister who would rather blow up 50 people and almost certainly many more children in a shopping mall, than possibly kill a single child, who for some strange reason was quite happy to re-sell bread she'd already sold and taken the money for.
Your going to save one little girl,so that dozens can be killed. Weak.
This film tells you that killing children is painful for pilots and decision-makers in America and Britain but ultimately necessarySweet Propaganda and Smart Because this film is for the British , and the British scene is smarter and more insidious than the American So they need to make a good movie to convince them to justify the killing of black Muslim childrens
I had to rate this movie quite low, as it is, as I see it a false propaganda movie and on the other side it is still quite high just because of the good performance by the actors. There was much space to make this movie more trustworthy by showing true "emotions" of the people which are in real life responsible for decision making, which in this movie shows a propaganda, that these people actually have feelings as you will find out by yourself, which I would say sides with fiction. The human factor of characters is forced to sky high, when in real life, there would be a lot of high fives and couple of pints of beer to celebrate.
