Good Kill gives a better window into the mind of a modern combatant and entices more emotional connection from the viewer than most war movies.

Cinema Escapist
Rating: 2.5/4 --
"Good Kill" wants to use the movies as a Trojan horse to confront us with our international sins. It's a worthy effort, even if it's not a very well-built horse.

Boston Globe
Disregard the arguments for and against drone warfare advanced in GOOD KILL, and the movie still makes a persuasive case that our blind infatuation with all-powerful technology is stripping us of our humanity.
New York Times
Rating: 3/4 --
Good Kill excels as a character study with Niccol's screenplay making Egan a fascinatingly conflicted and flawed individual and Ethan Hawke giving one of his best recent performances bringing the man to life.

[A] timely meditation on the mental and emotional costs of remote-control warfare.
Washington Post
Rating: 2/5 --
With more stereotypes than you can shake a joystick at, Good Kill reduces an important debate to a cliché-ridden mess. You'll die of boredom before it hits its target.

One Room With A View
It asks different questions about the kinds of stress we put the men and women in our military to, and they are questions that need to be asked, even if you might not like the answers you arrive at.

Product Description:
Andrew Niccol's 21st century war drama GOOD KILL stars Ethan Hawke as Air Force Major Thomas Egan, a talented pilot who spends his days operating a drone over various terrorist threats in the middle east while sitting in a trailer on a base in Las Vegas. Egan hates not being allowed to fly actual planes anymore, and as the CIA begins dictating orders to Egan and his crew, he begins to feel morally disconnected from his job. This leads to more conflict at home with his wife (January Jones), who wishes her husband could focus on their family as much as his military duty. GOOD KILL screened at the 2014 Toronto International Film Festival.
