Good Kill

MOVIECLIPS Trailers / YouTube

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
