Synopsis

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.

Reviews

strike-1995 Hitchcock for the modern gamer. A moral issue so important, subtlety is erroneous.
bobfromdorset Forget the lowly rated reviews condemning this enactment of a serious subject! The main story is to demonstrate just how many radicalized Muslims are active in what is still thought of as a civilized country.....kenya. This film requires attention from the off and delivers through excellent direction and generally brilliant acting. It demonstrates that obstacles can be overcome but sometimes at a cost that isn't acceptable to everyone especially liberals most of whom need a wake up call as to whats occurring and the consequence of inaction.
nickdnk This movie will have you on the edge of your seat from beginning to end. Helen Mirren is superb and Alan Rickman likewise.
oliverdearlove I thought I would write a post-Manchester review. In May 2017 a bomb went off killing 23 people of whom ten were under the age of 20.This film is about whether it is better to spare one child and allow a suicide bomber to go ahead or sacrifice the child and kill everyone in the bomb factoryI didn't feel there was a moral dilemma. The film is only two years old before the writing of this review. I live in Manchester and having seen the aftermath of a bomb aimed at children, the idea of sacrificing one to save more seemed a straightforward trade-off, with no element of " shall I - shan't I ?" The moral dilemma such as it was - was not discussed as such but much more shuttled around. The team couldn't decide or more likely was told by people they could not decide - so it was referred up. Past the attorney-general to the minister and possibly prime minister . Then across to more ministers of another country . The only issue was that politicians are not good moral debaters.I waited for the real moral dilemmaA few months earlier, at London Bridge men carrying knives were shot out of hand by the then armed police without warning. We live in interesting times
