Warfare

As a active duty Marine I found this movie to be incredibly accurate. Well done*****

Different from what is conventionally thought of in a war film, it delivers an interesting and thought-provoking mix of intimacy and action.

I found it boring and imaginative, it didn't have any audience gripping parts like lone survivor or other films, it didn't have the actors to carry it off. Even the IED where'd that sit there waiting ?... where did the first Bradley drive off to, only then waiting for others to come, not good but hope the first Bradley driver went back to change his pants 🤔

A fantastic job all the way around….acting, directing, screenplay, you name it. The realism was unbelievable. I was literally on the edge of my seat for most of the movie. One of the best war movies I’ve ever seen…end of story.

Felt like I held my breath for the whole movie. Intense, visceral and unyielding. Exceptional work by both the directors and the actors in this movie. The direction and sound engineer was masterful. The muffled silence after explosions felt so realistic. It would have been amazing to see at the cinema. Love the photos and video of the real soldiers at the end.

Complete, with good performances and brutal scenes.

Grounded and realistic but based on an incident that is more suited to a 60 minute documentary. The lack of story and events makes this too thin and stretched even for a 90 minute movie. The only aspect that really caught my attention was the portrayal of the Navy Seals, far from their reputation as an elite fighting force they looked very ordinary.

“I Prayed for Warfare to End, Because It Was That Real” I’ve never seen a film that physically shook me like Warfare did. I wasn’t just watching a movie—I was in it. That’s how real everything felt. The moment it started, I was already tense. But what truly wrecked me wasn’t just the story—it was the sound. Every scream, every gunshot, every single line barked into a radio—it all felt like it was happening right beside me. I don’t say this lightly, but this is easily one of the most realistic portrayals of war I’ve ever experienced on screen. The sound design is next-level. The gunfire didn’t sound like something mixed in a studio—it sounded like it was coming from down the hallway. Sharp. Echoing. Violent. It had weight. Every bullet felt like a personal threat. Then there’s the radio chatter—the JTAC calls, the garbled voices, the urgency—it was so accurate, it made my skin crawl. The chaos felt authentic. You weren’t being guided through a cinematic war scene. You were thrown into it with no warning. And the screams… man. These weren’t dramatized or overacted. These were raw, animalistic, and filled with pure terror or agony. There were moments where someone screamed and I actually felt the panic set in my own body. It didn’t feel like a performance—it felt like witnessing something I wasn’t supposed to hear. But here’s what made it even more powerful: there was no music. No score. Nothing was there to hold your hand emotionally. No soundtrack to tell you what to feel. Just silence… or worse, the sound of reality. And that silence? It hit harder than any dramatic score ever could. It made the violence feel cold. The tension, unbearable. You weren’t comforted. You were trapped in it with them. And that’s what made it all feel so disturbingly real. The action? Chaotic. Desperate. It wasn’t cinematic—it was survival. Sloppy. Ugly. Human. And that’s exactly what made it so gut-wrenching. I actually wanted the movie to end at one point—not because it was bad, but because I couldn’t take it anymore. It was so intense, so unfiltered, that I felt drained. That’s the power of Warfare. And the cast? Flawless. Every actor disappeared into their role. No hero archetypes. No melodrama. Just real people dealing with hell in real time. But the entire cast carried the weight. It felt like a documentary at times because everyone was just that convincing. Warfare didn’t try to entertain me—it made me feel like I barely survived something. It left me empty. Numb. Changed. And I mean that as a compliment. No score. No break. No mercy. Just truth. Second this.

That is supposed to be a Seal Team!? Seemed more like a Girl Scouts expedition! I thought they were supposed to be hardened soldiers.

I have watched absolutely plenty of movies, I check IMDb and rotten tomatoes for reviews. I have never cared to write a review before today. I dislike the Hollywood aspect of most war movies. They glorify war and all around have loud flashy soundtracks to appeal to men. This movie pulls you in from the very first scene. You get an idea of the comradery and kinship this unit has. ***Spoilers ahead*** From the moment the movies started to the moment the movie ended I was stressed. Elevated heartrate the whole time. The sound design stunning. Writing excellent. I really gives a full view of combat. It has everything wounded soldiers, PTSD/shell shock, adrenaline. The absolute chaos of combat and the bravery of men that have to lock it down. The scenes of the men slamming into the wounded as they are all fresh and amped up of course no doubt happened according to the director. How horrifying to be so extremely wounded, having to await a medevac and being tripped over while not being allowed to have more morphine or they might kill you. The utter chaos of locking down the position until they could deal with the wounded and no one thinking about the morphine. The heavy guns and the Bradley's as well as the poor family being trapped in the war for probably no reason other than they lived across from the targets. Another part I immensely enjoyed was no call to battle music, no heavy metal, no rock no kicking ass and taking names. Just the sound of gunfire, IED, Bradley's and the grenade. It made you feel grounded, profoundly in the moment and the way they directed and blocked put the scenes made you feel as if you were a part of the action. What a phenomenal war movie. To know that this was somewhat of his love letter to his platoon for having his life while showing that in war decisions are made that may or may not get a squad picked up was so heartbreaking. What a movie.
