Semi-Spoiler-Free Review:

The Kill Team is dramatization of the events that took place during the documentary of the same name. It chronicles the story of a soldier Andrew Briggman (Net Wolff) in Afghanistan, who’s new platoon sergeant (Alexander Skarsgård) is a rule breaker on several fronts. Their task is to visit the villages in their area of operation, to root out any ISIS collaborators. They seem to find them wherever they go. While this is expected, these people are labelled enemy combatants and are killed.

Problem is that Briggman has doubts that everything’s being done by the book. This causes the dilemma for Briggman, and is the focus of the movie. Briggman doesn’t know where to turn for help. Given that it’s based on a documentary, it’s relatively true. It’s also a war film, so it’s difficult to see, at times, and may not be for everyone.

It’s a powerful film that would be waived off as fantasy, if not for the fact that it’s based on real events. It’s a sad tale, and we must acknowledge it as similar to what’s happened in previous wars. It is worth seeing.

There’s not much else to say, other than it’s going to be on a limited release, starting on October 25th.
