Reminiscent of Good Kill - but the difference between can be summed up in a few words - British production vs American.
Where GK succumbs to the usual US sentimentality and black/white "answers", the EitS remains guarded, cerebral and dares to leave many problems unsolved.
Excellent acting, complex plot line and sustained suspense without cheap histrionics. Mirren is at her best when she renders a clipped English accent, Aaron Paul delivers what Breaking Bad promised, and the film is intelligently edited.
Highly recommended.
