Good Kill is a 2014 American thriller film directed by Andrew Niccol. The film stars Ethan Hawke as Major Thomas Egan, a former fighter pilot who now operates drones for the U.S. Air Force.
The story follows Egan as he struggles with the moral implications of his job, which involves carrying out deadly airstrikes from thousands of miles away. As he becomes increasingly disillusioned with the remote warfare he is engaged in, Egan begins to question the ethics of his actions and the impact they have on innocent civilians.
As the pressure of his job mounts, Egan's mental health begins to deteriorate, leading to conflicts with his superiors and strained relationships with his family. The film explores themes of morality, technology, and the psychological toll of modern warfare.
Good Kill received mixed reviews from critics, with praise for Hawke's performance and the film's thought-provoking subject matter. However, some critics criticized the film for its heavy-handed approach to its themes and lack of subtlety in its messaging.
Overall, Good Kill is a gripping and timely exploration of the ethical dilemmas faced by drone operators in the military, and the toll that modern warfare takes on the human psyche.
