The British have some wanted terrorists in their sights, tracking then in Nairobi. The Americans are brought in for their technical abilities (drone flying and targeting) and the fact that one of the terrorists is an American citizen.
The intention is to capture the terrorists, but the plan has to be changed to eliminating them instead. The politicians are very hesitant in taking the decision, and there is much concern about collateral damage, but in the end they go ahead and send a couple of missiles in to finish the baddies off. In doing so, a young girl is killed.
The acting is good and believable. The pace of the film is well done with tension sustained throughout.
However, it is a fantasy. It is unlikely that there is so much concern about collateral damage as the film makes out. The Kenyan government would have been more involved. There is no part of Nairobi that has people driving around with guns mounted on Toyota Landcruisers - the director is wanting to suggest Nairobi is like Mogadishu, it isn't.
