It was okay, not what I was expecting. I wouldn't pay to see it. I'm hearing "Purge" like in nature but with better acting, script, directing and bigger budget. Going to see later today. Enjoyed the Purge movies for what they were, a bit of fantasy... It's a kind of a mind experience, us against them, but they are us, and we are them.....there are basically two story lines. The wife enjoyed it more then I did. That's OK ese, I'm good about treating a movie for what it is, escapism. Actors executing to a script, nothing more, nothing less. Not a believer that 5'6 Cruise could take out every bad guy from here to Argentina in hand to hand combat, lol. Only THF's, BBKT2 could do that as we have been repeatedly told, lol....

Ese, interesting flick, intense and like you mentioned, not what I thought. Good acting, really about war embedded journalists getting their pictures in. Good cameo role by Dunst's real life husband, Dallas born actor Jessie Plemmons playing an overzealous soldier.

Yeah, the journalist thing is crazy. We never really think about how they get the shots.

So, is it a typical left leaning Hollywood movie?

Finally saw it. Didn't care for it. Would rather see a real war movie.
Jessie Plemmons is SOLID. I love everything he does. First I saw him act was on one of the first Fargo TV series.

Been a fan since he broke in with Friday Night Lights TV series. The movie is about embedded journalists chasing the photos and story, not really a war movie and not what I thought it'd be...

Just got back from watching Cival War. As some mentioned, tis more about reporters. Doesn't really tell why it started. Kinda took it as Pres. (for unknown reason) twas the villian. Either way, bunch of killing. Whin all said & done. Who's the good guys with guns & who's the bad ? Tis not for us ta give final judgement. Just me
