Strong thriller and one of the best films of that year. The cast pull together for one of the strongest films about innocent casualties and wartime choices. This grabs you from the very beginning and imagine these decisions being done right now. Moral decisions are made like this and I'm shocked I had not watched this film on release. Mirren is amazing in the lead role and her bias judgement is easily relatable. Aaron Paul almost steals the show as a drone pilot with an insanely difficult decision. Topical and highly relevant film. This is a must see for fans of Fail Safe and 12 Angry Men, they accomplish a lot with a little and if you cut most of the big budget set pieces, you could imagine this playing out in a theatre. Great film. 28/09/2019

Excellent...a thoroughly entertaining film. I love the way this is filmed, and the acting is fantastic...Helen Mirren delivers an Oscar-caliber performance here.

In what is Alan Rickman's last ever performance (RIP) him, and the other well-known cast members tell a disturbing tale of the bureaucracy of terrorism and the desensitization to violence for drone strikes and their operators.
