Drones

About This Movie

Drones (2013) is a tense exploration of the moral complexities surrounding drone warfare, set against the stark backdrop of the Nevada desert. The film’s atmosphere is heavy, almost claustrophobic, as we follow Sue and Jack in their sterile bunker, manipulating drones with a cold detachment that’s chilling. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the audience to really sit with the discomfort of their actions. The performances, while understated, convey a nuanced tension; you can feel the weight of Sue's privilege and Jack’s internal conflict. It's not flashy, but the practical effects and the raw human element create a thought-provoking experience. Not many films tackle this subject matter in such an intimate way, making Drones a curious study in ethics and disconnect.
