Anthony Mackie was as always terrific. I believe he played his role well.
As for the other Actor (I have not yet searched his name) , just seems unrealistic in his portrayal.
Never been a service man and I don't think I'll ever pass for one but this dude just made me feel bad for the USAF. The amount of incompetence he showed on the field is just astounding. I get that he is a drone pilot but come on? Do they not get a little bit of basic training too?
He's acting seems amateurish, over the top and unconvincing. Great plot that could've been exploited a bit more but was rushed overall. Plot holes here and there but yeah, it is what it is. Leaves a sour taste in the mouth.
