Why watch?

D'Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai carries the whole thing — he plays a soldier who cares more about staying alive than the mission, and it makes every scene hit different. It's set in terrain where you never know if the next moment is quiet or brutal. Ray Mendoza and Alex Garland made something that doesn't do the typical war movie hero thing — it's just people who are exhausted and armed. 95 minutes, tight, no wasted time.

Who is it for?

Watch this when you want raw, intense war with no Hollywood sweetening — you don't get heroes to root for, just soldiers in hell. If you liked Come and See or 1917, same kind of experience but shorter and more direct. It has brutal violence and heavy subject matter, not for younger viewers.

If you connected with Warfare's raw, unfiltered take on soldiers in immediate danger—where the action feels chaotic and personal rather than epic—check out The Raid and Come and See. Both strip away heroics and lean into the physical toll and disorientation of being caught in conflict. Unmarked offers a more urban, contemporary angle, but it has that same breathless, claustrophobic intensity.

Classic overview

A platoon of Navy SEALs embarks on a dangerous mission in Ramadi, Iraq, with the chaos and brotherhood of war retold through their memories of the event.

A Navy SEAL unit pinned down in an Iraqi family's house during a 2006 operation in Ramadi finds itself trapped in a nightmare scenario — what was supposed to be a controlled sniper mission spirals into chaos when an ambush forces them to fight for their lives. Director Alex Garland builds the tension in real time as the soldiers, led by Will Poulter and D'Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai, scramble to keep their wounded alive while waiting for extraction that may never come. The 95 minutes feel like they're happening in a single, suffocating afternoon. If you felt the pressure in movies like Outpost or the claustrophobic desperation of a survival thriller, this hits that same nerve.
