Dennis Harvey

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.

Mike D'Angelo

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.

Donald Cameron

Low budget films are hard to watch these days. The sound is poor. if you turn up the volume to hear the dialog, then be prepared to be blasted by the music. None the less the movie has its moments and is worth watching if you enjoy film for the experience. It ends well enjoys some plot twists and will make your heart beat a little faster. The acting is good, and the dialog is not mind numbing There is a lot of dialog. For a low budget film about high tech war not bad.

Alexi Azzi

Very very bad This is such a bad movie for the whole movie they argue weather they should obey a command or not and fight then and that's it the pictures makes it look good movie but it ain't.

Garbage Absolutely horrible. I'm usually not so critical but this movie frustrated me. I can only hope that the writers and director never make another film again.
