Remember when Andrew Niccol made Gattaca? Seems like such a distant, fleeting memory, doesn’t it? Because since then… let’s just say his track record has not been the greatest. His last two films, the pretty bad In Time and the shit storm that is The Host, show a guy who just cannot seem to make anything worthwhile anymore. So, with all that being said, he has a new movie coming out called Good Kill, and you can watch the new trailer for it below.
Niccol is reuniting with his Gattaca star Ethan Hawke for this one, so I guess that is a positive. Though, Hawke, in my opinion, does not have the best track record either as an actor, outside his work with Richard Linklater. He is fine in Gattaca, but I would not say those two sparkle and shine. The film also stars January Jones, Bruce Greenwood, and Zoë Kravitz.
If you care to check out the trailer, you can do so below. You may also give a once-over on the poster and synopsis for the film.
A fighter-pilot turned drone-pilot, based in Las Vegas, fights the Taliban by remote control for twelve hours a day, then goes home to the suburbs and feuds with his wife and kids for the other twelve. But the pilot is starting to question the mission. Is he creating more terrorists than he’s killing? Is he fighting a war without end? One soldier’s tale with epic implications.
