Variety

A middling real-time thriller that chronicles a fictive crisis for two Air Force personnel, who find themselves at loggerheads when they spot an apparent terrorist thousands of miles away on surveillance video.

AV Club

Drones is the equivalent of an issue-driven movie about the NSA featuring agents who feel really creepy about spying on people. That's not the problem.

Rated: C

While Rick Rosenthal's Drones has the balls to attack the issue head on, the lack of nuance in tackling a complex issue undermines his efforts and that of a game cast.

Rated: 2.5/5

Drones is in constant combat against itself, poorly balancing searing commentary on excessive drone use and rampant stupidity.

Rated: 2/5

When horror movies and history meet. And with a disturbing and discomforting persistent dread, Drones is in no way standard entertainment, nor should it be. Or as Dirty Wars doc director Jeremy Scahill solemnly observed, 'You can't surrender to a drone.'

Drone Warfare or Video Games? Powerful, gripping drama with faultless acting from Mumford and O'Leary. SPOILER. The "iron" is only dropped when for Mumford it becomes personal. Okay, so O'Leary's role reversal isn't totally convincing, but this is a drama about ideas and the positions people take to adjust to their situations. And of course we are left to wonder was the target a terrorist? Cannot understand film's low rating on RT.

I'm sure this movie set out to raise and deal with a particularly difficult issue about war, killing and killing innocents. Not sure it fully addressed it, but there is some drama and suspense in this portrayal.
