Black Mirror: Men Against Fire
by Charlie Brooker; dir. Jakob Verbruggen (Netflix, 2016)
While the character dynamics are nicely scripted, and well handled by the actors (particularly Malachi Kirby and Madeline Brewer), the naturalistic exploration of military indoctrination and target dehumanising is undermined by Brooker’s using Michael Kelly as a mouthpiece to articulate his inspirations.
