After “Civil War”, discover the new war film by Alex Garland (“ex Machina”, “28 years later”) which has just landed on Prime Video. Here's what you need to know about “Warfare”.
“One of the most intense war films that I have ever seen”, “a film that takes an overwhelming, relentless and absolutely devastating look at modern war”, “the film smashes you … and never lets you go to the credits” … such were the American criticisms of this intense war film.
Released in the cinema in the United States thanks to the A24 distributor, this impressive and intense feature film will not be entitled to the same treatment in France since it has just landed directly on Prime Video, like other films rented by criticism, such as the names at the American Fiction Oscars and Nickel Boys.
We owe this war film to Alex Garland, including 28 years later, the third part of the zombie trilogy which he oversees with Danny Boyle will soon be released in the cinema. The director of ex Machina joined Ray Mendoza, with that he has already worked on his previous War civil war film.
An impressive war film in real time
The duo co -wrote and co -produced this new war film, inspired by the life of Ray Mendoza, former member of the US Navy Seal during the Iraq war. Warfare traces the meeting fight that his peloton and lived on November 19, 2006, the day after the Ramadi battle.
Inspired by real facts, Warfare is not content to bring back a appalling war story, he immerses you in the heart of the horror experienced by the soldiers and by the civilians taken hostage and besieged in their home.
The film by Alex Garland and Ray Mendoza focuses on two sections of Navy Seals, trapped and mortally injured by enemy attacks, which are trying to get out of the building that they have taken by storm and which could at any time become their tomb.

The film thus follows this attempted escape in real time, which gives a stifling, breathless and traumatic cinematographic experience. Thanks to an immersive staging, a sharp work on the sound and an involved and fair cast, Warfare will not leave you indifferent.
Carried by a casting of emerging talents
Warfare can boast of having an excellent casting of emerging talents. You will thus find among the headliners Will Poulter, known for his roles in Black Mirror: Bandersnch, Midsommar, the Labyrinth, Kit Connor, revealed by the Heartstopper series, as well as Joseph Quinn, revealed in Stranger Things, then seen in Gladiator II and soon in the new film The Fantastic 4, first steps.
The rest of the distribution, we count on D'Haraoh Woon-A-Tai, revealed in the Dogs Reservation series, Cosmo Jarvis, hero of the Shogun series and seen in Peaky Blinders, Michael Gandolfini, son of James Gandolfini, seen in Many Saints of Newark and Daredevil, Charles Melton, revealed in Riverdale and seen in May December, And Noah Centineo, revealed in the trilogy to all the boys I liked.

This shooting has allowed its actors, which you see more and more or that you will see more and more on your screens, to become very good friends. Their brotherhood is reflected in Warfare and brings authenticity to their characters and their ties, for a friendship that has exceeded fiction.
The actors even made a common tattoo, “Call I”, in reference to the song of Erik Prydz, which we hear at the start of the film, in the first scene where the members of the Seal are gathered around a television to watch the very famous clip of an aerobic course.
The film “Warfare” is available on Prime Video.
