Written and directed by Iraq War veteran Ray Mendoza and Alex Garland (Civil War, 28 Days Later), Warfare embeds audiences with a platoon of American Navy SEALs on a surveillance mission gone wrong in insurgent territory. A visceral, boots-on-the-ground story of modern warfare and brotherhood, told like never before: in real time and based on the memory of the people who lived it.

Chicago Reader

There is no doubt that Warfare is, to this civilian’s eyes and rattled ears, the most effective any film has been at not only communicating but sharing the mental state of soldiers in warfare.

Slant Magazine

This is a formidable technical showcase and obsessive forensic recreation whose imposed formal limitations become meaning-making ends in and of themselves.

Rated: 3/4

Flickering Myth

So many elements work, but it almost crumbles under its bare-bones script. It still comes together with some solid craftsmanship and powerful acting.

But Why Tho? A Geek Community

Warfare (2025) is one memory and expertly directed, with excruciatingly impactful sound and emotive performances. Sadly, what’s featured in the credits removes the sentiment and reduces the movie to spectacle.

Rated: 7.5/10
