WARFARE
Rated R (1h 35m)
Drama
A platoon of American Navy SEALs on a surveillance mission gone wrong in insurgent territory. A boots-on-the-ground story of modern warfare and brotherhood, told in real time and based on the memory of the people who lived it. Starring D'Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai, Will Poulter, Joseph Quinn. Directed by Ray Mendoza, Alex Garland.
Paul's review:
When you leave the Darkside after watching WARFARE, you won’t think about the neighbor’s unmown lawn or whether or not to cancel your Prime Membership. Things like that are rendered insignificant when experiencing a movie like WARFARE.
Twenty years ago, a Navy Seal team in Iraq was pinned down, their building razed by IEDs and grenades that had injured or killed most of the team. And now we, the audience, wait with the survivors for help to arrive. The movie speaks obliquity to current wars that are awaiting solutions. Alex Garland directs (Ex Mechanica, Civil War, Annihilation). WARFARE was written by Ray Mendoza, one of the men lucky enough to have survived this actual siege in Iraq.
Here in Corvallis, the Darkside will show difficult films about real issues outside the sphere of comfort and relatability for many in our community. Attendance for these movies is usually so low that we can’t really afford to show them. Tough shit, we show them anyway. This is one of these movies. WARFARE is neither pro nor anti-war. The viewer decides. The faux documentary style doesn’t allow for fluff. We feel the bullets whiz by and smell the blood. The screams of the wounded are very different than what we hear in a horror film. Seeing people tested to the limits of their physicality, sanity, and humanity can make us wonder how we’d do in such situations. It can leave us feeling grateful for our life and more respectful of those who survived, and those who did not.
WARFARE is an extraordinarily well-made and acted movie. It is an important movie that gives a unique voice in the genre. There are no cliché introductions to characters with identities based on adorable quirks. Being a hero isn’t part of the equation. No tattered flag is planted on a hill. It's about surviving and keeping your buddies alive. It is as visceral and trimmed up as it can be. See it. The co-op will still be there when you leave the Darkside and return to our safe community.
