Warfare (2025)

As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

Warfare (2025)

Post by Leisher »

The true story of a SEAL team's support mission gone wrong. The whole thing is told from their memories of the incident.

This is a really interesting movie because this isn't a turning point battle or anything like that. It never would have made headlines, let alone history books. It's just a single incident that takes place in a two story home in Iraq.

It's very cool that these guys got to tell their story. It's definitely a different way of looking at what goes on in these missions.

If you're coming for an action packed film, this isn't it. If you're looking for rah rah patriotism, again, keep looking. This isn't Black Hawk Down or Hamburger Hill. It's just a bunch of soldiers in a building reacting to things happening outside.

I think the biggest issue with the movie is you can see the budget on screen. There's a feel that's off the whole time, and it's amplified late in the movie.

Still, I was entertained throughout and glad I watched it. Not one I'd ever watch again though.
