The film introduces the incident in a simple and straightforward manner. Through drone monitoring, it is necessary to capture a criminal alive in Somalia. The contradiction is also very obvious: to sacrifice civilian girls or to sacrifice other civilians in danger. Government departments also quickly introduced: tough female colonels, young drone pilots with a clear conscience, attorney generals with clear principles, embarrassed foreign ministers, decisive and resolute U.S. officials, female officials with pity, and numbness. The scheming general, the black agent at the scene, and of course the minister who doesn't know the specific position and whose attitude is vacillating. Everyone’s position is adequate, there is no conflict of interest, no conspiracy and power tactics. It is just a simple presentation to describe the wrangling process under the mechanism. During this period, the movie didn't let anyone make a decision, but wasted time by laying out data, reasoning, making a stand, and asking leaders to pass the time, thus approaching the deadline step by step. Incisively and vividly explained the bureaucracy and wrangling. The real-time video taken by the drone makes the wrangling in the meeting room compact and tense, not at all boring.
The film does not have a big scene, but it is wonderful, and it is more like a suspense film. The film accurately analyzes a small event, the rhythm is tight and the plot progresses quickly. Through the use of surveillance video, the audience was addicted to voyeurism, and successfully created an exciting pseudo-war film. In the absence of blood, it is revealed that behind the war, what determines the lives and deaths of civilians is only the position and a bunch of unknown data.
