“Welcome to the new front line”

Colonel Katherine Powell (Helen Mirren) has spent years tracking a group of extremists in Kenya, and she wants them taken alive. Then her surveillance shows a suicide bombing being prepared, and the operation she commands turns from capture to kill. Gavin Hood keeps the decision moving between the pilot Steve Watts (Aaron Paul) and the officials above him, while a nine-year-old girl sets up a bread stand beside the target house, and Powell stays on the line.
