My wife and I watched this movie tonight. It’s a $6 rental on Prime, but we both thought it was worth watching. Russell Crowe as a USAF Reaper drone pilot in over watch for a SF mission in the vicinity of the Philippines.
I will add that there things in it that will make you go, “Huh?” but it’s still pretty fun.
Here’s one review:
quote:
Honestly not bad This film isn't going to win any Oscars or be nominated by any stretch of the imagination but it's a solid action flick. It's an interesting take on a military action movie where the drone operator (Crowe) can be the difference between life and death for an American team behind enemy lines. Of course some Hollywood magic carries the movie through scenes that wouldn't otherwise happen in real life but that's to be expected.
Crowe does a great job as an aging drone operator who should be higher in rank by now but is held back by his own stubbornness. Without Crowe in this role I think the movie would fall far under the radar (pun intended) of most people looking for a decent action movie to watch. Hemsworth does a decent job in his role but it's Crowe that holds the film together. Worth a watch.
