What I thought was interesting is the insight the movie offers on the war through drones: I think this is the first time a war movie depicts this way of fighting a war, something looking more like a video game than the dirty reality of ground-fight. So I thought the movie was very insightful, providing a clear point of view on both the ethics of such a war and the personal impact on individuals. What the film does is to take you into the virtual reality of a war where who pulls the trigger is in a bunker in Vegas and the bullet hit someone in Afghanistan; it is a virtual reality where the boundary between what is war and what is a sheer crime becomes more and more blurred, where war on terror gives the cover to commit illegal actions. At the same time, I felt the movie did not go beyond scratching the surface of the issue, it got kind of repetitive and it tried to solve the tension built throughout the whole story with a crappy happy end...
