Synopsis
Spoiler shield
When Andrew Briggman — a young soldier in the US Army during the invasion of Afghanistan — witnesses the murderous behavior of fellow soldiers, under the direction of a malevolent Sergeant, he faces a moral dilemma. His increasingly-violent platoon becomes suspicious that someone in their ranks has turned on them, and Andrew begins to fear for his safety. A fictionalized dramatization based on a true story.

What people are saying
- Gimly
A war film unlike any I have personally seen before, but not a perfect one. Has important things to say, but has them delivered, while, not unbelievably, blandly. The Kill Team shows us that Wolff's character is having a moral crisis, but never his thought process, nor that of any other character, and the reasoning behind why they aren't having one. Final rating:★★½ - Had a lot that appealed to me, didn’t quite work as a whole.
- SWITCH.★ 6/10
Dan Krauss's film depicts in stark terms the way war can strip souls of conscience, something made even more wrenching when viewed with the knowledge that it's based on horrific true events. - Jake Watt Read Jake's full article... https://www.maketheswitch.com.au/article/review-the-kill-team-hazy-morality-in-the-fog-of-war
