Top Critics Reviews

Thoughtful and immensely gripping ...

fresh:
"Good Kill" wants to use the movies as a Trojan horse to confront us with our international sins. It's a worthy effort, even if it's not a very well-built horse.

rotten:
"Good Kill" is darkly enlightening, but it's not really all that good.
