As a war movie enthusiast who has seen my fair share of combat-themed films, I must say that the trailer for “Warfare” left me absolutely spellbound! Having spent years serving my country, I can attest to the raw, unfiltered emotions and experiences that this film promises to capture. The fact that it’s co-directed by Alex Garland and Iraq War veteran Ray Mendoza makes it all the more compelling – a fusion of artistic vision and firsthand war experience.

With anticipation growing for 2025’s cinematic offerings, A24 has unveiled the trailer for the gripping war drama, “Warfare.” Co-directed by Alex Garland and Iraq War veteran Ray Mendoza, this movie is set to deliver a hard-hitting portrayal of modern warfare. It’s promised to be an immersive experience, offering a deeply personal perspective that places viewers squarely in the heat of the action.

Based on Mendoza’s personal accounts, the film Warfare immerses viewers in Iraq during 2006, showcasing a Navy SEAL platoon residing within an Iraqi family’s household while monitoring forces advancing through insurgent territory.
