• “Visually stunning even in its most banal moments and emotionally perceptive almost to a fault” - Variety

What’s it rated?

• RottenTomatoes: 7.9/10
• IMDB: 7.4/10

Good Kill

What we know

Ethan Hawke’s first role since the Oscar-winning Boyhood sees him play an unhappy drone fighter in the US army.

• “[T]he tightly contained nature of Hawke’s performance through most of the film makes his one shattering explosion of rage quite startling” - The Hollywood Reporter

What’s it rated?

RottenTomatoes: 6/10

IMDB: 6.2/10
