Good Kill (2014)

Description

From the producers of The Hurt Locker comes a riveting thriller about 21st-century warfare, where combat unfolds like a video game, but with real lives at stake. Veteran Air Force pilot Tom Egan (Ethan Hawke) yearns to get back into the cockpit of a plane, but now he launches drone strikes from an air-conditioned box in the Las Vegas desert. When he starts taking orders directly from the CIA, the stakes are raised and Egan's nerves-and his relationship with his wife (January Jones)-begin to unravel. Featuring "Ethan Hawke's best screen role in years", critics are hailing Good Kill as "fascinating" and "exhilaratingly of the moment."
