The part with Jesse Plemons was one of the most nerve-wracking scenes I’ve seen in a long time

Also want to give props to the sound design. In my theater every single bullet was LOUD and impactful. I honestly jumped in my seat a few times just from getting startled by the gunshots after more quiet moments.

I think people complaining about the choice not to elaborate on the politics behind the civil war are kind of missing the point. War on the ground is not political. It's people killing people trying to kill them (and often killing anyone they happen to run across, combatant or not). No ideology can rationalize slaughter. This isn't a film about why a war breaks out. It's about life and death in a war zone, but instead of a third-world country we can feel superior to, it's the formerly United States of America.
