Description
A dangerous war mission is conveyed across 95 minutes in "Warfare."
Written and directed by Iraq War veteran Ray Mendoza and Alex Garland ("Civil War," "28 Days Later"), "Warfare" follows – in real time – a platoon of American Navy SEALs on a surveillance mission in Ramadi, Iraq, in 2006.
The ensemble cast is led by Emmy nominee D'Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai ("Reservation Dogs"), who is tasked with portraying communications officer Mendoza while being directed by him.
"I was learning something new every single day. We were blessed to have him as our instructor during boot camp, during our three-week training, and so just having him on set, it was very needed, and it helped me with my performance completely," Woon-A-Tai said.
"Warfare" opens in theaters nationwide Friday, April 11.
