It was bad, very bad, because it attempts to suggest what the author thinks could happen if a trump like president were ever to regain power. The author then cleverly changes the sides to make it look like the republican western part of American are the good guys who are engaged in a civil war (that is very short on details) against the executive office with a goal to execute the president on sight. The war is going poorly for the president, so a ragtag crew of reporters attempt to make a 900 mile trip up to Washington, DC to interview the president who is taking his last stand from within the White House, in their PRESS Vehicle right in the middle of all the civil unrest. (They should have taken a tank). The ending blows a political ill-wind for republicans and democrats alike. There is non-stop blood soaked violence. With the sacking of the White House that consisted of what seems like never ending machine gun fire against the secrete service. No matter with side you are for, the ending is not good for either. The movie was written by an English author, which explains why he got the California Texas alliance all wrong. I fear that this movie will embolden more than a few radical vigilante extremists to commit acts of mass violence.

Very good movie that was well directed, well written, good acting and helps the viewer understand what could happen if things go the way of a civil war in a world that is constantly changing. I liked the approach that was taken to tell a story through reporters’ view. The movie, in my opinion, is not about political views or the cause of the civil war but rather the suffering that a war will cause.

if U want to watch a 12 year old press reporter put in the line of fire- a movie without a plot - stupid acting - then U have the right movie. I almost demanded my money back -Perhaps the worst movie I have ever seen

Exciting combat. I had a lot of the same feelings watching this as the Normandy Invasion in Saving Private Ryan. Really gives a better idea of how a modern American civil war would go. I suppose that there would be some real phychos coming out in such a situation like in this movie. That is probably war. I would have thought that the president would have had better protection. The movie doesn't get into why the president stayed in office for a 3rd term. Texas and California as the western alliance is anything but likely in our current environment. It is hard to say how much this movie relates to it. It seems like they made a money maker with all of the talk of a states seceding.

A stirring and objectional look at what could happen in the US, great combat scenes. The fact that it doesn't explain why people are fighting is the point... it's just showing what can happen, it's not some political left/right ideology thing so don't get upset about that.

I came in with high expectations, but I wanted to leave after 15 minutes. HOrrible deplorable dialogue, Empty shallow characters you didn't care about. Kirsten Dunst couldn't save this movie. This attempt at showing a Un-United States failed to hit the bullseye. In fact the dart missed the board. No explanations or back story were offered as to why what was happening was happening. Civil War offered a slow prodding plot. Honestly, I still don't know why Civil War was made.
