Kit Connor’s “breathtaking” new movie Warfare debuts with strong Rotten Tomatoes rating

Kit Connor’s new movie Warfare has been called “breathtaking” with a strong Rotten Tomatoes score.

The upcoming movie, created by Alex Garland and Ray Mendoza, serves as an adaptation of Mendoza’s actual experiences as a U.S. Navy SEAL. It tells the story of a platoon involved in the Iraq War during 2006, embarking on a mission across hostile insurgent territory.

The film features a stellar lineup of actors such as the Heartstopper star, Joseph Quinn from Stranger Things, Will Poulter known for The Bear, Charles Melton who starred in May December, D’Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai from Reservation Dogs, and Cosmo Jarvis, famously recognized from Shōgun.

Following favorable preliminary reviews, the film titled “Warfare” opened to a commendable 93% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes (as of writing), garnering acclaim for its technical aspects. However, some commentators have noted that it could have been stronger in certain other areas.

Here’s what they’ve been saying:

Inverse

As a movie enthusiast, I can honestly say that not many American war films create the exhilarating suspense like Warfare does – or deliver sounds so intense they could shatter your ears.

Empire

War is a form of torture, and warfare doesn’t flinch from this truth. Unlike many movies claiming to be against war, it packs a punch due to its straightforwardness. It confronts the harsh reality with a certain level of respectful brutality.

The Standard

When you approach this movie with an open mind, understanding it as a raw portrayal of humanity under extreme conditions, the exceptional technical prowess and powerful performances will undoubtedly resonate with you.

The Hollywood Reporter

In what many consider his most outstanding work since his initial release, ‘Ex Machina’, Garland is delivering top-notch performance and displaying remarkable technical mastery.”

Or more informally:

“Garland’s latest film is arguably his best since ‘Ex Machina’. He’s really shining with exceptional skill and technique.

The Times

This film is hard to both watch and erase from memory. It’s an intense onslaught for the senses, a disturbing dreamscape that persistently challenges your emotional fortitude.

The Guardian

Warfare truly reveals the harsh monotony of a soldier’s existence. However, it’s strangely vague and self-satisfied, the impact of its conclusion dulled by inappropriate content during the end credits.

The Independent

Every form of conflict, without fail, presents only the raw violence, detached from its origin, similar to men and civil wars prior to it. If the intention is to highlight its horrifying nature, what insight can a film like this provide if it fails to reveal the roots of its emergence?

Warfare arrives in US cinemas on April 11 and UK cinemas on April 18.
