With the help of Iraq War vet Ray Mendoza as co-director, Alex Garland tightens his focus after the sweepingly epic Civil War to capture a small US unit in deep shit as insurgents close in on their position in an Iraqi town. Having an actual Navy SEAL on co-writing duties should guarantee authenticity for a film whose trailer evokes strong memories of Black Hawk Down. The cast of young-gun actors, including Joseph Quinn, May December’s Charles Melton, Will Poulter and Heartstopper’s Kit Connor, amps them up even more.
