Andrew Niccol blasted onto the public and critical consciousness with his imaginative and stunning feature debut Gattaca. With Good Kill, Niccol aims high, is almost on target, but ultimately misfires.
Major Tom Egan (Ethan Hawke) is a fighter pilot in the Us air force, with years of combat service behind him. All he wants is to get back in the cockpit, but now he spends his days ensconced in a portakabin outside Las Vegas, ‘flying’ UAVs – better known as drones – over Pakistan and Afghanistan. Joining him on this mission is his superior, Lt Colonel Johns (Bruce Greenwood), Airman Vera Suarez (Zoë Kravitz), Ed Christie (Dylan Kenin) and Specialist Zimmer (Jake Abel). Johns and Tom come from a different age, when their dream was to fly and to serve. Now they are surrounded by rookies recruited from shopping malls where they showed their skills on video games and not in the sky.
