Alex Garland wasn’t kidding.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The writer\/director of “Civil War” said his dystopian thriller didn’t take political sides.<\/a> The film bears that out, focusing entirely on journalists scrambling to cover a country at war with itself.<\/p>\n

The problem? “Civil War” isn’t action-packed in a traditional, rah-rah sense. Nor does it shed new light on what it means to be a war correspondent.<\/p>\n

What’s left? Visceral moments and the sense that almost anything can happen on screen. Like Garland’s previous film “Men,” that sense of storytelling chaos papers over plenty of flaws.<\/p>\n

And “Civil War’s” flaws could fill an AT&T phone book.<\/p>\n

America’s second Civil War may be reaching a critical stage, and veteran photojournalist Lee (Kirsten Dunst) is racing to D.C. to capture it. She’s joined by an aging New York Times scribe Sammy (Stephen Henderson), her fiery partner-in-crime Joel (Wagner Moura) and a rookie shutterbug named Jessie (“Priscilla” standout Cailee Spaeny) who talks her way onto the team.<\/p>\n

They know danger lies ahead, and the early leg of their road trip confirms those fears.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the beleaguered U.S. President (Nick Offerman) says the war against the Western Front is going well, but reality offers a different perspective.<\/p>\n

Can these intrepid reporters stay alive long enough to photograph history in the making? <\/p>\n
