Dispel any preconceptions of righteous heroes fighting for a noble cause against a decidedly evil enemy. Warfare isn’t like the D-Day battle against the Nazis à la Saving Private Ryan. It’s even more savage and unsparing. Ray Mendoza, a former Navy SEAL and JTAC (Joint Terminal Attack Controller), a soldier who directs military air support, collaborates with British filmmaker Alex Garland to tell the highly personal, true story of a bloody battle that nearly killed him and caused horrendous casualties to his dear comrades. It is a nuts-and-bolts account of ferocious combat, bloody, brutal, and terrifying. Warfarewill absolutely floor you.
