This is one of the best war movies I've ever seen! It certainly is the one that feels closest to home, vs WWII or any other historic war movie. To all the low IQ people giving it 1 star because the movie doesn't explain all of the details about who is who and why the war started, etc, THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT! War DOESN'T make sense! During a war, people don't know what exactly is happening outside of snippets capture through photos or video clips, accompanied by whatever narrative the side they're hearing from wants to push. This movie is a WARNING! And an excellent one at that. War is not glorious. Everyone loses. If you want your typical good guy vs bad guy James Bond style nonsense, this movie IS NOT it. The one thing I didn't like is the young reporter using film rather than digital. I'd dock a star for that, but I'm giving this visceral film 5 stars to counter the fake and/or misguided 1 star reviews writen by folks that are too shallow to understand a film like this. If you're politically motivared, this movie won't give you the satisfaction of confirming your "us good, others bad" bias. This is probably what some trump supporters are looking for and giving unwaranted 1 star reviews as a result of not finding it here.

This could have been a good movie lacked any story line. The movie was a flop in my opinion. I was excited to see this from the preview. But it was a Hugh disappointment.

This movie is not about anything specific in the US's current political climate, it's just about photo journalism if a war were to occur. The "conversation with the sniper" scene spells this out.

Terrible premise as if we want to pay to see a movie that is pretty much playing out in Amerikkka right now. No thank you and Hollywood or wherever this crap is coming from, get thy head out of your ace and find some new ideas. For the longest time, the movie going experience was one that made you forget about your troubles for 90+ minutes.

This film shows the pointless, random violence that can occur when 2 parties do not agree. Neither side open to discussion, combined with the ridiculously out-dated 'right to bear arms' mentality.
I'm glad this movie was made, at the times that we are facing now. Hopefully it will open a few eyes as to what is potentially only a few months away and get people talking, not plotting each others demise.

This movie should have been titled War Correspondence, since that was the only focus of the film, capturing the confusion, inhumanity and wanton abandon of an average citizen with a gun during conflict.
I was expecting backstory as to how the civil war began; an explanation of who were on opposing sides and why; as well as HOW the side opposed to the United States and the sitting President got access to all the military equipment for their use. This movie lacked little info that focused on the title.
All that being said, Dunst delivered a great performance as a photo journalist hardened by her calling which required her to disengage personally from the horrors that were going on in front of her lens. The adrenaline surge accompanying the desire to capture the moments in real time seem matched by the depressive nature of the war time scenarios. At times they seem to be a hinderance to the operations, essentially 'unnecessary' in the action moment...that is until you realize that without many of these candid and real photos, we would know nothing visually to attach emotion and empathy. It brings the atrocities and horror to us personally on our computers, phones, tv, magazines.
I understand that each side presently thinks the other side is the guilty party in the possibility of a civil war, but this movie had a chance to show the main factors that are instigating it all...mobs pretending to be seal team six because they play video games and win; adults unwilling to compromise or even listen to oppositions reasonings; peoples lifestyles feeling threatened, and other people pushing their agendas on them; and most of all the division being perpetuated by people claiming the ability to lead ALL of America when they are only concerned with loyalists, or candidates that should pass the baton because they had their time already.
I will give this movie ONE good point, it did not come across as bias to either side, seemingly more neutral.

Couldn't figure out who they were trying to portray as the president, until they said he authorized airstrikes on American citizens; so that narrows it down to George W(1 confirmed kill) or more likely Obama(at least 4 confirmed killed, including at least one child); they also said it was the presidents third term which would mean FDR... or Obama who is currently having his third term pulling the strings on weekend at Bernies Biden LOL

It was fast-moving and the whole movie was about the press walking around taking photos of people. Spend your money, trust me! The trailer shows the best parts of the movie.
