      Ignore evil

      The emergence of drones makes the protagonist's flight completely meaningless.

      Former fighter pilot, Major Thomas Egan became a drone pilot.

      Remotely use drones to monitor the lives of the target people assigned by superiors, remotely control the drones, and shoot people from point to point like a game console. Random shooting is just to maintain political correctness. Life is not adventurous. Every day, shooting and killing suspected terrorists and weapon-bearers in poor areas...

      Technological progress or retrogression?

      1. The technology of the United States five years ago can achieve precision strikes, which is shocking.
      2. Reflection on human nature. From the perspective of God, kill terrorists, that's right. But God cannot control human activities. After the missile strikes precisely 10 seconds later, innocent children suddenly break into the target area. What is the difference between doing so and terrorists? . . . . . This is a great torture to the human soul.

      From the standpoint of the...

      Killing in good faith---no need to worry

      Killing

      in good faith-No need to worry about working at a military base in Las Vegas, maneuvering unmanned fighter jets located in the airspace of enemy areas in Afghanistan. Thomas began to doubt his work, especially when they were directed by the CIA and had to slaughter the innocent people.

      Mr. Protagonist, this will be (and is already) reality and fact, without excessive doubt!
      Just like the first batch of shooters who picked up machine guns to shoot, would they...

      Did you really think about it the moment you pulled the trigger?

      When I watched the trailer, I had roughly guessed the structure of the story, a typical reflection film.
      The first thing you see is misalignment.
      The experienced F-16 pilot is now sitting in a container flying coffee while flying hellfire. For some people, this is a dream. While fighting to kill the enemy, they can still have their wives and children hot on their heads every day, without life-threatening. But some people think that they are cowards, sitting behind the screen like a...

      Show off the power of drones

      This is a film in which the U.S. government defends its killing. The film unreservedly shows off the ability of U.S. drones to strike. The purpose is to let those small countries understand their ability and ability to kill whoever wants to kill. It's as simple as trampling an ant to death. All you need is an order from the relevant security department. Any time, any place, no need to analyze with any country. This is their ability and ability. Look at your small countries. obedient? And the...

      A movie full of negative energy, the story of an active duty Air Force major who was tortured by his conscience in the war on terrorism, and finally his wife and son separated, moving towards giving up and liberation. Good kill is usually used in the praise of commanders after the Air Force accurately hits and destroys ground targets. Every such strike in this film also means a large number of innocent civilian casualties. The irony is very sharp. The film's very plain shooting method is my...

      Good kill should mean hit the target. . . Just like watching the leaked video of the U.S. military's long-range aerial clearing, normal people with sympathy and empathy will not feel that the United States is doing a righteous...

      There's nothing wrong with the plot, but there's no surprise, the main thing is that Ethan Hawke's acting is so good! Andrenico has really transformed in recent years... I still like him many years...

      Another so-called real event change. The rhythm is a little slower, but it has been going on in a depressing atmosphere, and this little golden man actually likes it. War is always like this, never ending, hatred will not decrease, it will only get heavier. The female soldier asked, when will it end? Now the war seems to be endless. will not end. In other words, the death of the Taliban is nothing. The massacre after the surrender was the permanent hatred between the two...

Now he is still in charge of flying missions in Southeast Asia, but his working place is 7,000 miles away in Nevada. He is now a drone pilot. The story is not about the future of war, but about the present. After eight hours of fighting with the Taliban, Thomas returned to his home in the suburbs and faced his wife and children who...

    Movie quotes

    • Tom Egan: Another one of my jobs is damage assessment. Which is our way of saying counting the dead. Which is not as easy as it sounds. Beacause a lot of times the bodies are in so small pieces.

    • Molly Egan: You think I am having an affair? No I thought about it. I don't think you would be cheating. In order to cheat someone you ought to be in a relationship... and I don't know any more if we are in one.

    • Molly Egan: You look miles away.

      Tom Egan: 7000. You want to know about my job?

      Molly Egan: Yeah.

      Tom Egan: Well, yesterday, I was flying over a house in South Waziristan. Well, it was night when I started flying over their house, but they couldn't see me. Even if it was day. It was a house of a Taliban commander. He wasn't home. Inside, his wife and family were sleeping. When he did come back around dawn, the family was still inside but I wasn't sure when I'd get this chance again so I blew the house up anyway. And I watched as the neighbors started pulling the bodies out. Another one of my jobs is damage assessment... which is our way of saying counting the dead. Which is not as easy as it sounds because a lot of times the bodies are in such small pieces. But this time I knew for sure it was 7. I watched all morning as these locals cleaned up the mess; got ready for the funeral. They like to bury their dead within 24 hours, which is a happy coincidence for me, because that's how long I can stay in the air. I watched them carry the bodies up the hill to the grave site. I had information that the Taliban commander's brother would attend the funeral. So I waited until they were all there, saying their prayers... and then I blew them up too. That's my job.
