Civil War
Dr. K and I agree that this was the worst film we have seen in 2024.
Sadly, I approached Civil War with great anticipation. The plot centers on several states led by Texas and California using the military to overthrow our government in Washington and establish a new republic.
It sounded like the January 6th revolt that occurred recently in our country. As we all know, Trump and his angry gang tried to restore Trump as President while they threatened to kill Vice President Pence in the process.
But the reality is that this film collapsed from the very beginning as battles raged throughout the country. The entire movie does little more than force you to watch four journalists attempt to drive from New York to Washington to interview the President.
While Kirsten Dunst and Stephen McKinley Henderson dominate the film as reporters willing to risk their lives in their road trip, this film is little more than a one trick pony. The talented Ms. Dunst wears a dull facial expression scene after scene.
My friend, Dr. K., saw this regrettable film with me. We left the theatre laughing about a movie where Director Alex Garland kept a powerful plot locked in a cinematic closet.
