Warfare
Directed by Ray Mendoza, Alex Garland
Irakoorlog, 2006. Een Amerikaanse Navy SEAL-unit zit verscholen in het huis van een Irakese familie voor een gevaarlijke missie in Ramadi. Met snipers houden de militairen alle bewegingen van de 'vijand' tot in de kleinste details in de gaten, maar toch lukt het ze niet om een grote hinderlaag te voorkomen. Onder hevig vuur loopt de operatie volledig uit de hand, met zwaargewonden tot gevolg. Terwijl de militairen alles op alles zetten om de gewonden in leven te houden en wanhopig wachten op redding, wordt hun situatie steeds benauwder: hoe lang kunnen ze het nog volhouden?

Warfare Ratings & Reviews
- COCO14 maart 2025One of the most intense movies I’ve watched all year. A visceral 90-minute war drama that drops you behind enemy lines in the middle of the gory action. The silence throughout the first 15-minutes alone is enough to build up some dramatic tension that kept me at the edge of my seat throughout. It’s incredibly immersive and raw with its approach. There’s no score but the sound design is absolutely insane, watch it in the loudest theater possible.
- Steven Parker15 uur geledenKept me engaged all the way through the 90 min runtime, one of the better war films!
- Chris C11 april 2025Intense. Visceral. Unflinching. All the adjectives you've heard about this film are true. Far from your typical Hollywood "recruitment" war film, 'Warfare' is a sobering, heart-pounding look at the effects of modern, well, warfare. The first act is almost eerily quiet, serving as a stark counterpoint to the chaotic battle set to begin. Once it starts, though, there is no pause in what unfolds in the largely real-time depiction. Ray Mendoza and Alex Garland have created a truly incredible movie based on the memories of the soldiers who were present for this battle. This film deserves to be seen on the biggest screen—and loudest theater—you can find.
- DavidBunnyDad23 maart 2026Very well-shot and engaging war film. Really puts you in there with the unit, even if the moral allegiances are tricky in a war in which we were arguably not the good guys.
- RipLinesMan20 april 2025Warfare and Event Horizon (1997) both begin with missions — controlled, tactical, professional — and end with men undone by the environments that devour them. One is grounded in the chaos of 2006 Ramadi, the other drifts in the black void of space. But both ask the same question: what happens when the mission becomes survival, and survival isn’t guaranteed? Warfare unfolds in real time, as a Navy SEAL team takes over a building and finds themselves pinned down and cut off. Will Poulter brings raw tension as Erik, the Officer in Charge losing grip by the minute. Joseph Quinn gives Sam a layered weariness, quietly powerful in the film’s most harrowing moments. Cosmo Jarvis as Elliott Miller is visceral and vulnerable — the kind of performance that says everything with almost no dialogue. Charles Melton, Michael Gandolfini, and Finn Bennett add weight and realism to a cast that feels as battered and bruised as the setting demands. In Event Horizon, Laurence Fishburne’s Captain Miller is a man built for order — a leader who watches his training dissolve into fear. Sam Neill’s Dr. Weir descends into madness with elegance, becoming something more dangerous than the ship itself. Kathleen Quinlan’s Peters, Jason Isaacs’ D.J., and Richard T. Jones’ Cooper each face their own reckoning as reality fractures around them. It’s not the void that breaks them — it’s what they brought with them. Both films hinge on the collapse of structure. Orders become pleas. Extraction becomes fantasy. And what remains is silence, injury, and the unsettling knowledge that not everyone who lives gets out clean. Warfare ends with a dust-covered retreat. Event Horizon ends in psychological ruin. But both leave the same imprint: something happened to these men that no report could ever explain.
- Mikey Smith5 mei 2025The craziest, purest, and most raw war movie I’ve ever seen. No big story, no main character just a bunch of dudes fighting together to stay alive. I really loved this approach. It took the Hollywood emotional and cliche war movie tropes and threw them out the window. It’s all about the soldiers in that building for an hour and a half. The sound design, set design, and wardrobe was all outstanding. It all felt lived in and authentic. The acting was phenomenal. Nothing too flashy, just I don’t know, it felt real! Also almost sh*t my pants when that IED went off. Great film. 4/5.
- ahwoo17 april 2025I don't think this film was made to be enjoyed but 'experienced'...
- Shoel Palli8 maart 2026Outstanding and hard hitting
- Berlin.8 mei 2025Best modern day war film ive seen.
- brian.ho9322 februari 2026People say it's the most accurate depiction of war, but I disagree. It's an accurate depiction of a battle, but there are many films with a lot more to say about war. Not a big Alex Garland fan and this didn't change my mind. Better suited as a short film, but there's no market for that.
- Oʂɯαʅԃσ Rσყҽƚƚ7 mei 2025Went into this expecting a military movie like those that get rolled out on Netflix periodically, however this is a huge step above. The fact it's a true story too also adds so much to the events shown. The filmmakers go out to put you in the middle of the action. It's a very intense movie that does an amazing job of making you feel the tension in the situation. Performances keep you locked in but the real star of the show is the sound. From the gunfire to explosions you feel every hit. The 'Show of force' they use NEEDS to be heard to be believed.
- Aaron Embry7 mei 2025Made my butt feel so good🦍🥀💔
- yanksno112 mei 2025Good, not a great movie. Worth a watch though.
- tachioma11 mei 2025It's been a long time since I've been this on edge for a full 90 minutes - adrenaline super high. Great staging, sound, acting and graphics.
- Werusia18 juli 2025Good movie for young men to watch when we are on the brink of ww3, really gives you a taste of what you are in for.
