Good Kill

Second film today and I was in two minds wether to see this or not.. 

It centers around Ethan Hawks Tom, an experienced piolet now 'flying' UAV's from an American airbase just outside Las Vegas. He's married to Molly (January Jones) and has two children. But all is not well in Toms world... He's suffering from a kind of post traumatic stress disorder and a borderline alcoholic. He misses the thrill of combat and, although he's the best at what he does he takes little pleasure in it. Slowly we see his marriage start to disintegrate..

This was an odd film. It seemed slow to get going... At one point I received a text off the wife saying "they're in town" and I was tempted to leave the screening and join them for a coffee.. 

Luckily I didn't and eventually the film paid off... Kind of.. 

In a way the film made the audience feel a lot like Tom... on autopilot.. There was some disturbing scenes but because they're 7000 miles away viewed on a small screen the impact was muffled (for want of a better word..). Once again Bruce Greenwood is excellent, and to be fair so are all the cast including Zoe Kravitz (whose getting better by the movie!)

Overall 3 desensitised stars..
