Hawke next worked with the Spierig brothers again on the science fiction thriller "Predestination", in which Hawke plays a time-traveling agent on his final assignment. Following its premiere at the 2014 SXSW Film Festival, the film was released in Australia in August 2014 and in the US in January 2015. The film received largely positive reviews and was nominated for the AACTA Award for Best Film. He then reunited with his "Gattaca" director Andrew Niccol for "Good Kill". In this modern war film, Hawke played a drone pilot with a troubled conscience, which led to "The Hollywood Reporter" calling it his "best screen role in years." Also in 2014, Hawke appeared in the movie Cymbeline which reunited him with his "Assault on Precinct 13" co-star John Leguizamo.
