Warfare presents an immersive auditory experience of battle, starting with a nod to Eric Prydz's 'Call on Me' as soldiers engage rhythmically. The film diverges from traditional war films by showcasing the professionalism of the SEALs—snipers Elliott, Eric, Tommy, Sam, and Ray—who exhibit unwavering loyalty amidst chaos. Their characterization remains shallow, focused on camaraderie rather than backstory. Glenn Freemantle's sound design enhances the intensity, making Warfare a contender for the most sonically engaging war films, all while highlighting the impressive craft behind the production design.
If a mode of American war movie leans toward showing the follies of war on the ground, the soldiers of Warfare... are supremely precise.
Warfare staggers in a concussed haze. The film's craft, generally, is impressive, including production designer Mark Digby's recreation of the Ramadi block.
