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.

Critics Consensus

Narratively cut to the bone and geared up with superb filmmaking craft, Warfare evokes the primal terror of combat with unnerving power.

Audience Says

Warfare viscerally places you in the trenches with bone-crunching realism, honoring the soldier experience while simultaneously philosophizing on the impossibility of their sacrifice.

Wendy Ide

Observer (UK)

Warfare, by Alex Garland and Ray Mendoza, is the most forceful and unflinching depiction of combat since Edward Berger’s 2023 Oscar-winning All Quiet on the Western Front. It’s also one of the boldest and most formally daring.

Rated: 5/5

Jake Wilson

Sydney Morning Herald

While conventional entertainment value may not be the film’s strength, Garland and Mendoza have taken some impressive risks in throwing many of the rules of drama out the window.

Rated: 3/5

Financial Times

You could condense the story into a sentence, but Garland and Mendoza have such a taut hold on the material, seconds take on the drama of epics.

Rated: 3/5

Herald Sun (Australia)

Though it is almost impossible to urge people to drop everything to see Warfare, the searing simplicity and graphic honesty of the experience can only be commended highly.

...the concept is far more intriguing than the finished result.

Its power lies in the pared-back nature of the storytelling. Each element, from the choreography of the action to the violence conveyed through production design, is handled with skill.

A gripping and intense story. It was probably the best real time movie I've ever watched. The sound design especially made it immersive.
