Alex Garland is back in the limelight with his biggest project yet. Civil War is a political thriller... or should I say... a thriller that is less political than we thought. This movie stars Kirsten Dunst, Wagner Moura, and Cailee Spaeny as "freelance" journalists who are taking pictures of the horrific Civil War that has broken out in America and are on a road trip to Washington DC for a story of a lifetime.
Garland leans less on the political commentary than what was promised in the marketing, but maybe it was better for it? Join Billy Rock and Drew Wendt as they discuss the masterful tension, oddly timed needle-drops, and Kirsten Dunst spotlight that Civil War provides.
