A War (2016)

  You can skip to the last 45 minutes of this film and not miss anything.  In fact, I think it would have been a tighter drama if they had just focused on the courtroom element and not dragged it out.

Claus Pedersen (Pilou Asbæk) is a commander with NATO forces in Afghanistan.  During combat, he calls for an air strike on a compound, saving the lives of his men but killing 11 civilians.  He is sent home to face trial for not having positive identification on the enemy before ordering the strike.

Honestly, the least realistic thing about this is the accountability.  Maybe that's how it works in other countries.  In America, the military would write this off as collateral damage and that would be the end.  We barely investigated friendly fire.  You think we'd spring for airfare to transport some dude home for a trial every time a civilian died?  (Not saying it's right, just that it's realistic.)

So I found this annoying for multiple reasons.  All the scenes with his wife and family back home that are supposed to show how strained and distracted his mind was are completely extraneous and just padded the run time.  I watched about half an hour and then just fast-forwarded through to the trial.  It's not worth the time, even if it is streaming for free on Kanopy.
