Before the piano wire gets too tight

America is in a civil war. We follow a carful of journalists and their journey towards the capital Washington D.C. and the President of the United States to get a quote of the fucking mess. They witness and encounter shit that's pretty repulsive and are constantly in danger. Alex Garland's Civil War is quite brilliant in its warfare, but disappointing in a sense that it hardly carries any message within. Exciting and intense, but a missed opportunity.
