“Civil War” is a 2024 Thriller/Action movie starring Kristen Dunst (Spider-Man), Wagner Moura (Narcos), Cailee Spaeny (Bad Times at the El Royale), Stephen McKinley Henderson (Law & Order), Jefferson White (Yellowstone), Nick Offerman (Parks and Recreation), and Jesse Plemons (Breaking Bad).
It’s modern day and the United States is ravaged by an ongoing civil war. Highways and interstates are almost impassable due to bombings, abandoned cars, and fire fight. Four reporters are determined to make the trek to Washington, D.C., behind enemy lines in order to interview the president, who no one has heard from in over a year.
I wasn’t totally sure what to expect going in, I just know the movie looked good. It’s an interesting watch, and what makes it so unnerving is a civil war is always a possibility. I believe it’s a slim possibility, but one none the less. It relies heavily on graphic fight scenes to drive the idea home that is always a possibility. It does get a little artsy in certain spots for me. It was different than what I was expecting, I was hoping it would be a little better than what it was, but it is an entertaining watch, and the acting is good. Overall, I give it a 7/10.
