Despite Mendoza’s inexperience as a director,Warfareis breaking Rotten Tomatoes recordsfor its incredible realism and immersive experience.
Civil War director and Warfare co-director Alex Garland reflects on certain critiques regarding his successful 2024 anti-war film/political thriller.
Mendoza was actually still a Navy SEAL chief when he first participated in a Hollywood production.
That first movie sparked Mendoza’s interest in filmmaking, and set the stage for his post-active duty career.
He even did some motion-capture work for the ultra-popular video gameCall of Duty: Modern Warfare.
The result wasWarfare, which plays out in real time from the moment the title screen drops.
