Was it a suspense movie or a comedy with Keanu's acting?

One of the favorites for the season
Not bad. I know it's hack but I would have loved a cameo from Robert Vaughn or David Macallum

In the way that American Sniper showed the effects of PTSD, Good Kill shows the stress and guilt associated with piloting drones and killing from afar. If people felt AS was jingoistic and glamourized the war, they won't feel that about Good Kill. Pretty much the entire cast is practically suicidal. If you want to be depressed watch this movie.

Watching the featurette, it was made clear they really weren't trying to make entertainment. They succeeded. They were making a statement on drone warfare. The lead characters are Ethan Hawke who is a depressed alcoholic. His co-pilot is Zoe Kravits who comes in gung ho then starts crying when she sees what is happening. Secondary characters provide the arguments for continuing; they would still kill us anyway, its not like they'd like us better if we didn't drone strike, before this we captured them but that was seen as torture, etc. So they do try and present both sides of the argument. Just the pro is presented in muted fashion.
Regardless of which side of the argument you are on, it will make you think.
Personally I don't care for the program. I think it's disingenuous to get on the high moral horse against water boarding but then blowing the shit out of them along with collateral damage that goes with it. Collateral damage is way up and you don't get any intel.
Obviously no easy answer either way you look at it.

I am in the minority but I liked Good Kill and thought Hawke was great in that movie.
Trainwreck
The best comedy of 2015 not that Hollywood makes a lot of comedy movies and there is not a big selection to choose from.

A touching, beautifully animated story. I've read that Studio Ghibli's fate is still up in the air following Miyazaki's retirement. This feature (produced without his direct involvment) does his legacy proud, so I really hope they keep it going.
