Translated from swedish: "Warfare" is not a film for everyone - its brutal realism can feel heavy. But for those seeking a strong and authentic portrayal of the reality of war, this is one of the most powerful films in a long time. It challenges the audience not just to watch, but to experience war up close.

Translated from swedish: The sound design is fantastic, the actors incredible, cinematography and editing are top-class. Your heart races, you want to get out of there, you want the soldiers to be evacuated immediately. The way they behave, move around, and handle their weapons feels realistic to someone who has never been in war.

Translated from swedish: You are trapped in this building with this team, and through their fear, you feel the same way. In war, everyone is a loser, and the film depicts this well by not taking sides but simply showing the horrors of war.

Translated from swedish: A severely bloody, chaotically filthy pig of a film about the horrors of war - which would have benefited greatly from some sort of political background or decent character development.

Translated from swedish: It's an ambitious experiment that partially succeeds, but after a while, something more is needed.

Translated from swedish: Garland and Mendoza's adrenaline shot is too intense to reach such intellectual heights, but then again, their purpose is hardly to make an anti-war film. Their mission is straightforward and simple. They want to place us right in the middle of the hell of battle – and that automatically leads to becoming quite anti-war.

Translated from swedish: Alex Garland's "Warfare" is chaos filled with smoke and chunks of meat

Translated from swedish: "Warfare" is neither heroic nor propaganda, but you can't shake the feeling that something is unsettling about it. This was a war where the USA was the aggressor - they were the ones who invaded. Why should we care about this anonymous gang of heavily armed men who, at gunpoint, take over an innocent family's home and hold them hostage?
- Daniel Hånberg Alonso

Translated from swedish: "Warfare" can be likened to an epic roller coaster ride - it's boundlessly intense, loud, explosive, but after the experience the adrenaline quickly leaves your body. What should become a lasting memory instead becomes just a moment of gut-wrenching desperation.

Translated from swedish: The primary purpose of "Warfare" is to demonstrate the futility of war. In Iraq, there was no place for heroism. People were killed and maimed for no purpose. The problem is that the film, bluntly put, is monotonous.

Translated from swedish: Alex Garland's film about the Iraq War is an old-fashioned good-versus-evil story similar to classic westerns.

Translated from swedish: "Warfare" is a film that's quickly forgotten, and rightfully so. It brings absolutely nothing new to the genre and leaves the viewer with a feeling of having wasted their time. Avoid it if you can. There are far better ways to spend two hours of your life.

Translated from swedish: It's intense, raw and bloody – but something is wrong when you find yourself yawning at the violent events. I sat there feeling bored.

Translated from swedish: "Warfare" claims to expose the unfiltered reality of the Iraq War. However, the film risks oversimplifying a catastrophic chapter in contemporary history.
