Civil War did a very good job of making war journ*lists look annoying as all heck. I couldn't stop thinking about how irritating it would be to be a soldier and then have to constantly wrangle those r-slurs as they trip you up and give your position away.

The only good moment was kirsten dunst getting riddled with bullets and absolutely no one giving a frick by the end.

Even that was played way too dramatically. Should've had her shot and the camera moves smoothly on like nothing happened. Then one of the remaining journ*lists glances back and snaps a pic.

Imagine you're stacked up with your battle buddies and all the sudden some journo gets into the stack aiming a camera at the enemy instead of a gun. You have to constantly tell the r-slur to get down or get out of the way. You're tempted to just dome them and blame it on the enemy but instead you just sort of let them run out into the line of fire and have nature run its course.

Wasn't the ending like a special forces raid. Imagine raiding the Bin Laden compound and some teenage girl journo is snapping photos of you.

Given everyone on that raid ended up chasing book deals, honestly not a bad concept. You could skewer journos, media corps, Chris Kyle wannabes and Black Rifle Coffee drinkers in the same film. But I guess it would've gotten in the way of fellating journ*lists and forcing in trailerbait action scenes.

Fatt Damon was the only good character in the movie. As soon as the chink outs himself as foreign journo trash, he gives him a bullet lmao. And the fat frick black dude (how the frick you still fat in a civil war and NOT a villain?), what did that useless frick even do the entire time?
Plus them paying with canadian money like it actually means anything and canada wouldn't be a geopolitical hostage by that point in the movie. B-word, 5 frickin people with handguns could take over that entire kitty country.

Fatty was the designated victim for when you run into war criminals digging a mass grave but want all your main characters to escape unscathed.

I expected something way better from Alex Garland than that boring rubbish. I regret going to the movies to watch it.

Felt like A24 wanted to cash in on a hot topic with a mainstream action movie but also keep their indie arthouse cred. Garland was able to thread that needle with Annihilation but this was a disaster.

it is good as commentary over shallow US style coverage of foreign wars but using journos as the vessel was a huge L
