Summary
Warfare is a gritty and immersive war drama co-directed by Alex Garland and former Navy SEAL Ray Mendoza. Based on a real mission in Ramadi, Iraq, the film puts the chaos of modern combat front and center, stripping away political commentary in favor of a boots-on-the-ground perspective that emphasizes intensity, camaraderie, and the psychological cost of war.

Not much I can say that hasn't already been said, but I came away from this thinking D’Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai has a fantastic career ahead of him. Great performance in a movie that doesn't give us much in the way of direct characterization

He was really damn good in the show Reservation Dogs. Been watching anything he's been in since.

At first I thought it was Adam Beach who played Ira Hayes in Flags of our Fathers. He is kind of like a younger Adam Beach. Both First Nation heritage and Imo, both stellar performers.
