Colonel Katherine Powell is a UK-based military officer in command of a top secret drone operation to capture terrorists in Kenya. Powell discovers the targets are planning a suicide bombing and the mission escalates from “capture” to “kill.” But as American pilot Steve Watts is about to engage, a nine-year old girl enters the kill zone triggering an international dispute over the moral, political, and personal implications of modern warfare.

If they'd left out the flying beetle and hummingbird camera scenes, which would be better off in a James Bond or Mission Impossible film, and come up with a different means to discover what's inside the house, it would be more believable. Also, the use of the cute little girl seemed to be very manipulative of the audience. The entire moral quandary they face seems to hinge on potentially killing an innocent girl, at the expense of examining bigger moral questions.

Helen Mirren is a great actress, but in this role, a 70 years old colonel? I just don't buy it.

It was a bit slow to start, although necessary while building the plot, but kept me at the edge of my seat, and finally broke my heart... An emotional roller coaster!
