Drone

About This Movie

So, 'Drone' is an interesting piece. It really dives into the psychological toll on a rookie Air Force drone pilot, which gives it a unique spin. The atmosphere is heavy, almost suffocating at times, as he becomes more and more entangled in the life of his target. The pacing feels deliberate, almost haunting, creating this sense of dread that builds throughout. What stands out is the way it explores themes of detachment and moral conflict without relying heavily on action sequences. The performances are quite solid, especially given the constraints of the setting – it’s largely just him in a room. The practical effects are minimal, but they’re effective when used. Definitely a different take on the war genre.
