Warfare

"Warfare" is as simple a statement as you can get, on the reality of conflict. Warfare can be dull, even bureaucratic, with its own language, spoken over radio in codes. Equally, its frenetic, violent and horribly visceral. We see all of these aspects of war, in this film. I'll admit its depressing, sad, underlining in blood, the wastefulness of war. Mind you, that's what war is. Not heroic, symphonic, grandiose. Suffice to say, I liked this film. Its unpretentious and makes you question, not only the need for war but attempts to make it appear noble, when clearly, its nothing of the kind. In summary, a realistic portrayal of the true face of war. Something every young person, thinking of joining the military, should watch.

FULL SPOILER-FREE REVIEW @ https://movieswetextedabout.com/warfare-movie-review-garland-and-mendoza-strip-the-genre-to-its-rawest-form/ "Warfare is a film you admire more than you enjoy. Its anti-narrative structure, slow pacing, and lack of strong central figures make it difficult to revisit - but impossible to forget. It's a remarkable display of technical realism, a brutally honest recreation of a war zone, and a testament to cinema's power when it refuses to play by the rules. Alex Garland and Ray Mendoza may not have crafted a universally captivating masterpiece, but they've created something undeniably authentic. And sometimes, that's enough." Rating: B

Difficult to not notice a typical Netflix/Prime budget canvas. forces you to admit all happening in one room one street or just in your imaginations. Lost patient, tried fast forward several times but nothing really changes or happens. Seems like all high rating are for the real incident and to real soldiers. Sorry this is the review of a movie like any other movie.
