Civil War

wow just wow, no words just go watch it now !

Meh. Kinda pointless but maybe that is the point?

Tedious road trip across America, punctuated by a few disturbing events. Feels like a low budget Netflix original.

No story line, has an original plot idea which they have butchered in their execution. They go into no details on what’s happened or is happening

I finally watched this movie. I can definitely related it today's political climate in America. I like the plot of following reporters instead of the actual movie of a left vs right American political civil war. The scene with "which kind of American are you" nailed it. I thought I wouldn't enjoy this movie and had heard bad stuff about it. I would recommend watching it. Just keep in mind you are watching it from the reporters point of view not one side or the other of the political debate. That is how I went into this movie to watch it and I was not disappointed.

I waited to stream this, and I'm glad I did. Journalists are about as likeable as lawyers (especially nowadays when there is no pride or qc prior to rushing to publish/post), and this movie is on the "feelings" and "experiences" of several journalists. I like the actors in here and this movie opened strong, so I held out hope. But as the movie progressed, I found that all the main characters were unlikeable and I just didn't care. I started skipping through and made it to the end after having a massive eye roll at Hollywood once again depicting more rural folk (aka anywhere outside heavily urban zones) as murderous hicks with an IQ of 5. *sigh* Looking at the barbarism seen in today's society, you can tell that this movie, like everything else in Hollywood is slanted, hollow, and boring. Hollywood once again is proving it is on a severe decline.

HORRIBLE! Commercials made it seem something it wasn't! Want my time and money back!

visually arresting with excellent sound design, acting pretty good and storyline intriguing

Ouch. I think people no longer know what a good movie is. When the previews came out I was super excited. Just got the movie, watched it, and it basically says NOTHING about WHAT the civil war is nor get's into ANY of the politics of it, which then just leaves the viewer with a bunch of urban combat vignettes'- ALL of which were in other movies. So, the premise of the movie is super original, unfortunately the Actual Story, not what the title implies, is absent. Also, the war photojournalists can't possibly be real- they'd have the life expectancy of a gnat. Almost all of them keep a safe distance- they are not embedded in with the troops for tons of reasons, not the least= they'd get in their way too. Oh Alex, I didn't keep Men either which could've been good but the ending killed it. Not keeping this one either. I don't think I've ever had an experience with any other director where the source material is so fantastic yet the execution of it blows. Guess I'll try your next one but this isn't staying in my collection.

It's a great movie, but there are a few things that probably should’ve been changed. One of them is how the movie doesn't really explain how the war started, or what exactly happened for the characters to end up in that situation. Maybe the crew wanted to show how, in war, people often forget why they’re even fighting, and everything just turns into meaningless violence.
