Alex Garland’s Warfare is visceral and raw - a film that hits you deep in your gut. Unflinching in every way, this isn’t your standard war movie packed with intricate plotlines or layered character arcs. Instead, it’s an experience - intense, primal, and terrifying. It explores life, death, brotherhood, and pain in their most brutal forms. Yep, if you’re after a boot-on-the-ground military film with a sharp eye for authenticity, this one delivers. Garland strips the narrative down to its bare essentials, dropping us straight into a surveillance mission in Iraq alongside a group of young soldiers (all portrayed by a stellar lineup of capable actors). What follows unfolds in real time, as everything unravels in a harrowing and chaotic spiral that will keep you constantly on edge. At its core, it’s a story of survival and instinct, showing the human and personal toll of warfare in stark, unfiltered detail. And be warned - this isn’t for the faint of heart. The trauma, the carnage, the bloodshed - it’s all right there, unapologetically on display. Technically, the film is razor-sharp. Every shot is deliberate, every sound meticulously placed to pull you deeper into the moment. The sound design in particular is haunting. The result is a deeply immersive, emotionally wrenching experience — one that stays with you long after the credits roll.
