Impossibly boring, repetitive, and trite.

I'll keep this short: besides the fact that this movie had no structure to speak of (who ARE these people?!), why is anybody interested in a very simple legal question that is repeated 5 SEPARATE TIMES during this overlong film? Nothing about this movie is intriguing; it is almost offensively uncomplicated.

Add to that the utterly random impossible bird and insect technology, the drone with backwards facing propeller that can somehow stay completely stationary, and the crystal clear 4K video footage that can apparently zoom in far enough to identify your nose hairs while 20000 feet above you, and you've got this complete stinker. We fast forwarded through half of it and missed nothing.

Totally agree with you. I'm almost too shocked to write an appropriate response. I have seen Hallmark commercials with more sincerity than what this film portrays.

Yeah, barely a 3/10, that dialogue, give some of us with even a little bit of brain power more credit than this rubish

Very pointless movie, to think of all the good scripts out there, probably propaganda though......

Pointless???

I think the point was quite clear.

No matter how hard you try, there are always casualties in war.

And how is this movie propaganda???

Propaganda against drone strikes?

Little bit, yes. Not too much I think. Still, it's there.

It's more to get you thinking about it then anything I'd say.

Could've been good. They had the talent and the budget. Too bad they crapped it all up.
