WHAT KIND OF AMERICAN ARE YOU?!! Civil War Full Reaction Watch Along: https://www.patreon.com/thereelrejects With Warfare from Alex Garland & Black Mirror Season 7 debuting, we give you our Civil War Reaction, Recap, Commentary, Analysis, & Spoiler Review!! - Visit https://www.liquidiv.com & use Promo Code: REJECTS to get 20% off your first order. Join Greg Alba and John Humphrey as they dive into the politically charged, high-stakes world of A24’s 2024 thriller, Civil War. Written and directed by Alex Garland (28 Days Later, Ex Machina, Annihilation), this intense film thrusts viewers into a near-future America on the brink—where deep societal divisions, covert operatives, and explosive power struggles collide. Kirsten Dunst (Melancholia, The Power of the Dog, Bring it On) leads the ensemble as a beleaguered war photographer documenting the American dystopia of a not-too-distant future. Opposite her, Cailee Spaeny (Alien: Romulus, Guns Akimbo) provides a dose of heart & innocence as she attempts to follow in her hero's footsteps only to come face-to-face with the grim realities of wartime in America. Wagner Moura (Narcos, Elysium, Puss in Boots: The Last Wish) brings a wild, free-spirited energy amid the chaos as a determined if reckless Reuters journalist, & Stephen McKinley Henderson (Dune, Ladybird) rounds out the core cast as a seasoned New York Times reporter with a warm energy. Adding a unique edge to the narrative, Nick Offerman (The Last of Us, Parks and Recreation) appears as the President of what remains of the United States of America and Jesse Plemons (Breaking Bad, Killers of the Flower Moon) captivates in a singular & Incredibly tense sequence as a rogue soldier with a singular view of what constitutes a "real American.." Greg & John break down every electrifying moment—from tense, high-stakes meetings in war-torn settings to the adrenaline-charged standoff scenes that redefine the film’s narrative. Discover how Civil War masterfully blends action and political intrigue to question the very fabric of America as we know it in an increasingly insane & uncertain time... #CivilWar #AlexGarland #KirstenDunst #CaileeSpaeny #WagnerMoura #StephenMcKinleyHenderson #NickOfferman #JessePlemons #ATranscendentThriller #WarMovie #PoliticalThriller #MovieReaction #ReactionReview The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare Movie Reaction: https://youtu.be/oyYQkXAl9u8 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi Reaction: https://youtu.be/gWaQpBaWAR0 V for Vendetta Movie Reaction: https://youtu.be/P0qW3glj4lw Platoon Movie Reaction: https://youtu.be/GhtPrrHMOqc Full Metal Jacket Movie Reaction: https://youtu.be/b8CHBSt9M6Q 0:00 Checking In! 2:15 Civil War Reaction 1:03:13 LIQUID IV 1:05:07 Civil War Movie Review Intense Suspense by Audionautix is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Support The Channel By Getting Some REEL REJECTS Aparrel! https://www.rejectnationshop.com/ Follow TheReelRejects On The Socials: IG: https://www.instagram.com/reelrejects/ TT: https://www.tiktok.com/@thereelrejects?lang=en TWITTER: https://twitter.com/thereelrejects FB: https://www.facebook.com/TheReelRejects/ Music Used In Ad: Hat the Jazz by Twin Musicom is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Happy Alley by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ POWERED BY @GFUEL Visit https://gfuel.ly/3wD5Ygo and use code REJECTNATION for 20% off select tubs!!

Seeing this movie in the theaters was a crazy experience. The sound design was insane.

The scene of Sammy bleeding out in the car as they drive through the fire is such an incredible, moving scene. This film wasn't at all what I expected but it was beautifully brutal in many ways.

Cailee Spaeny is a massive fan of Kirsten Dunst, citing her as one of her chief influences as an actress and having followed Dunst's career since the Raimi Spider-Man movies. This film gave her the chance to work with Dunst onscreen, and Spaeny's admiration of her very much mirrors Jessie's own idolization of Lee.

My main takeaway was that after some amount of time, a civil war takes on a life of its own and increasingly becomes an excuse for all kinds of lunatic armed groups (of which there is not exactly a dearth in the US) to terrorize whatever chunks of land they are able to carve out. And this seems to accord with what I've read about from many actual historical intra-national conflicts. Also, war reporters are NUTS. I liked the movie for what it was. A lot of people seem to have been expecting a different one.

I watched the movie in Canada and when the "300 CAD" scene popped up everyone in the audience laughed their asses off

This was a fantastic theater experience. Alex was in his bag. It was the most expensive A24 film at the time of its release. Amazing film. Beautiful.
