When this trailer initially dropped, I was a little bit hesitant.
A bunch of teenybopper bait, mostly English actors thrown together to play Navy SEALs?
Just not something that seems like it can work.
However, I am happy to report that I was dead wrong.
‘Warfare’ is essentially ‘Black Hawk Down’ but less of a movie and more of a documentary.
This movie is based around a real firefight he was a part of in Ramadi, Iraq in 2006.
A sticking point for him was making sure the movie felt authentic.
In an interview with The Guardian, he was asked how he feels about war films.
He said:
I feel not seen.
Its actually embarrassing to watch them they dont get our culture right, we dont speak that way.
He verified most and was shocked how accurate some of it was.
Like I said before, the movie itself is really raw.
Just pure, scary combat on a real set with some good actors.
Overall, it’s a great movie that is different that every war movie you’ve ever seen.
I can’t say its a fun time at the theater, it’s an enthralling watch.
