Civil War Movie Review: Alex Garland's Political Divide Controversial Plot In Film Stirring Strong Reactions
Civil War ended up being just a Kirsten Dunst show.
A group of combat journalists—who are completely different from each other in every way—travel through an active war zone to New York City (NYC) to interview the US President about his intentions behind starting the war. Go on a trip to Washington DC. This group of reporters includes our lead Lee (Kirsten Dunst), her trusted lieutenant Joel (Wagner Moura), Sammy (Stephen Henderson), a veteran war reporter, and Jessie (Cailee Spaeny), Lee's bright-eyed admirer-turned-protégé.
The path to the majestic White House is filled with contrasting scenes of people struggling for necessities, mass graves, hanging bodies, and a sniper firing, reminding us of what can happen when everyone in the peaceful United States is armed. Have the right to carry. While its base could have been a great movie about how a group of war journalists come together to fight all kinds of challenges for a big story, Civil War ended up being just a Kirsten Dunst show.
