Sometimes you watch a movie and your wonder why, “Civil War” is such a film. Yes, we can understand what the screenwriter was trying to portray that war can be pointless and just vicious but without any real “character development” (except for long pauses of staring contest) we in the audience truly don’t care. War in most cases is unnecessary but so were extra scenes in this film that went no where. I understand that they didn’t want to get into the politics of those fighting but maybe a bit of the motivation behind it might have helped. Civil War was exciting in the last twenty minutes or so but by that time I called a truce and put this movie out of it’s misery.
**1/2- I added an extra 1 1/2 stars for the overall production value of the film.
