Warfare 2025
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
In a departure from his previous oeuvre, Garland switches to a non-fictional work, and a collaborative one at that. It seems, in part, a continuation of a conversation he started in Civil War. While that was marketed as a warfare movie, the final product masqueraded as one. It was actually about journalism. Warfare, however, is a militaristic action movie through and through.
