"Drone" is a solid, thought-provoking documentary that raises some pertinent questions even if they may not originate from the most objective of places.

Schei shows how, actually, the U.S. and its military-industrial complex treat war like a video game - to the point where finding gamers adept at video war is a legit recruiting tactic.

Village Voice
There are no suggested solutions here to the difficult issues raised, but the film at least reminds us that it's important not to accept this new way of warring without scrutinizing it.

Clinically-minded, touching on all the landmines of technicality embedded within its subject, this is a film that seeks to punch above its weight.
