Too much crying.


Jesus, for the last half an hour the drone pilot (Aaron Paul) wouldn't stop crying and tearing up. It got annoying and boring very quickly.

He was a disgrace to the uniform and humanity. I'm not sure he has any testicles at all.

Agreed. For the most part the movie (which like all similar movies was more of an analogy than a realistic reenactment) was pretty solid and tasteful. Then we get the same old Jesse Pinkman who can't get the job done and turns into a melodramatic mess. Dammit Jesse, we have to cook [some terrorists]!

It is fine to be emotional with the burden he must bear. But truthfully, for someone to be assigned to a position in which lives rest on his trigger finger, he'd have been screened for his (emotional) fitness for the job. He'd know if he was prepared to kill a civilian in collateral, and so would his commanding officers. They would not have sent him for the job if they didn't believe he could do it without flinching. He wouldn't have passed the tests. Someone stronger willed would have been sitting in his seat. The same goes for his copilot.

i remember him also crying alot towards the end of Breaking Bad




so many movies, so little time

From that point on, the movie turned into a soap opera. It lost its credulity. I don't think that the players in real life would get worked up like that over just one collateral damage.

To be honest, these people would not be in those jobs if they collapse in tears knowing the situation and what war entails.
