I went to see it. It’s very non-political. If you are expecting a satire, it is not. If you want to see the other side owned. You won’t.

If you want to see how division is bad for the country, go see it. It’s a tense movie and well done.

In all seriousness is this movie aimed at anyone other than the US?

Would I enjoy it not being resident of said country.

I think so. It isn't about American partisan politics, but rather what civil war does to a country, its population, and its national spirit.

Yes. I’m still processing the movie as it wasn’t what I was expecting. I was expecting an action satire. What I found most jaring was the journalist are taking photos of people dying and being harmed, not doing anything but taking photos. The action scenes don’t glorify war. They feel pretty real as someone who been through several shootouts.
