This film begins with the early morning risings of the principles participating in Operation Egret that day. Mirren is a Colonel in charge of running the mission in England while the drone pilots are in Las Vegas providing "eyes" and Rickman (a General) is observing to make sure the capture of three top terrorists in Kenya is going according to Hoyle. This is a very cut-and-dry affair as the film progresses through the mechanics of how it is all coordinated. Things are going well until the inevitable moral dilemma. A dilemma based on collateral damage that bounces back and forth to government officials all over the world. Typically, the Americans are portrayed as being down the evolutionary pole from everyone else and they come across as heartless and blood thirsty. (Hell yeah, winning is what we like to do!)
Besides Mirren there is a host of familiar faces and the Somali pirate that hijacked Hanks plays a clever operative. All the acting is great and the constant movement between locations and people is well done. Excellent editing and direction.
It was a tough day at the office for all concerned. Principles compromised and responsibilities shirked--the whole affair is compelling and I felt somewhat tense myself.
Not a date movie but a good one illustrating how politicians really don't have the tummy for war. Worth the walk in.
