Civil War (2024)
6/10
Felt like a missed opportunity
11 April 2024
I loved the concept of the film and some elements of this film delivered but unfortunately as a full experience it fell short for me by some distance.

Too many parts of the fore-fronted narrative are predictable and many characters felt "2D" - the old head who espouses wisdom, the grizzle main protagonist, the cool guy who drinks too much and claims to love the chase and finally the up and comer who won't hear no whilst putting others in danger. No spoilers here but it plays out how you'd expect...

There's moments where you think "yeah, let's explore this" and it moves on. The pace seems confusing with a huge wait until action is reached then a final 15 minutes of non-stop.

The soundtrack was great, the basis of the story which follows war photographer was promising but the execution was a shame. 6/10 from me.
