I can't believe this film is by Alex Garland. The same director who gave us masterpieces like Men, Annihilation, and Ex Machina made this?
Let's start with the casting. Who thought it was a good idea to cast Kirsten Dunst as the main protagonist? She was supposed to portray a cold, hardened woman, but all I saw was a bored actress reading lines. The plot and pacing were lackluster, only getting interesting towards the end.
The only redeeming aspect of this film was its depiction of war. As someone from Iraq, I've witnessed firsthand the gruesome reality of war and how it can turn people into monsters. The film captured that atmosphere well.
On a positive note, I think Cailee Spaeny has a bright future ahead. She was surprisingly good in this film, and I'll definitely be keeping an eye on her future roles.
