When Andrew Briggman—a young soldier in the US invasion of Afghanistan—witnesses other recruits killing innocent civilians under the direction of a sadistic Sergeant, he considers reporting them to higher-ups. However, the heavily-armed and increasingly-violent platoon becomes suspicious that someone in their ranks has turned on them, and Andrew begins to fear that he'll be the next target.

Reviews
Gimly wrote: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. wrote: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.
