Civil War — Movie is Not What You Think, But You Still Should See It
I went to see the new movie, Civil War, with high interest but was not wowed
I’ll try not to give any spoilers in this short review.
Civil War, which premiered on Friday, April 12, is mostly about journalists and their lives.
It’s not really about why there is a civil war in America in this movie.
But it’s a good action film, especially the final set of scenes.
The ending leaves a bad taste in your mouth, at least in what it says about America. But, as I said, there is no real discussion in the movie about why there is a civil war in the U.S. in this movie.
The bottom line: It’s worth seeing, if only for the action scenes, or if you like dystopian films.
But also see it because Kirsten Dundst, and her husband, Jesse Plemons, are really good actors.
I wasn’t wowed, except for two scenes. The ending left me dumbfounded but intrigued, and certainly on the edge of my seat.
Here is the YouTube trailer:
