Doesn't
January Jones worry that she'll be typecast as the go-to beautiful wife of an emotionally unavailable man? At least Don Draper killed only by proxy, encouraging Americans to eat and drink and smoke things that are bad for them (and even backed off on the smoking, as I recall). Though I suppose you could say Major Tommy Egan (
Ethan Hawke) kills by proxy, too, pulling a trigger from a base outside Las Vegas in order to blow up a target in Afghanistan or Pakistan or Yemen. The moral implications of the PlayStation war and the collateral domestic damage are sensitively explored, and it might have been an excellent film had not (I never thought I'd object to this) the CIA (Christians in Action, as the Air Force calls is) been painted in such unremittingly satanic colors.
