As intense and nerve-wracking of a movie as I've seen in years. It presents the characters - and the audience as well - with a difficult situation full of moral and ethical dilemmas in which there are no easy solutions. In this modern world warfare, where soldiers are literally thousands of miles away from the targets they're striking, an attack looks nothing more than a video game, and the burden of having to calculate how many civilian casualties justifies a strike where three major terrorists will also get murdered is a conundrum worth debating over for days. The actors do a great job, but the script and direction are the major factors here, because not a moment of this movie is too slow, not a scene too boring, and by the time it's over, your heart will have gone up - assuming you had one to begin with. Exhilarating stuff.
