You would probably assume a second film about the United States Civil War will be a non-stop action thriller centered on brave soldiers fighting on the front lines, taking viewers to the heart of the conflict That's why Alex Garland's "Civil War" has moved from New York to Washington, DCCFollowing a group of journalists heading to the White House, you might be a little surprised to know that they race against the clock to reach the White House before the decisive blow of the conflict is struck
"Civil War" is almost certainly not the movie that many expected, but its unique subject matter makes it a fascinating drama that asks some big questions about our current social and media landscape Based on Kristen Dunst's stunning performance as a world-weary photojournalist and the excellent support turns of Wagner Moura, Kylie Spainey and Steven McKinley Henderson, "Civil War" is the most reflective film of the year In addition, those who want some thrill should be wary of short but spine-chilling scenes with Jesse Plemons
