Garland's new war flick is tense, but also quite predictable, and it doesn't add anything new to similar films from the past. After a slow build-up, the chaos erupts, and a small group of men is caught in a small home in the middle of enemy territory. The film tries to be true to reality, though there's still quite a bit of cinematic polish.
The performances are good, the build-up of the tension is solid, and there are some pretty gruesome/memorable moments, but Garland's style of direction keeps things at a distance, and I feel other films have done a better job at getting their audiences in there with the actors. Warfare is good, but not great.
