The title “Kill Chain” comes from a military term for how an enemy clarifies its attack steps.

“Kill Chain” is at times a bit dry and tough to track, what will all the techno-terms and cyber-chat, so to speak. But in its most effective moments, it’s like something out of a dramatic/comedic feature film on the order of “The Big Short.” Our jaws drop as we learn stunning truths about America’s messy, outmoded and far too vulnerable voting system.
