‘Civil War’ First Reactions From Premiere: “Scary as Hell Cautionary Tale”


A24 and writer-director Alex Garland's provocative action film had its world premiere at South by Southwest.

The film from acclaimed writer-director Alex Garland( Ex Machina) imagines a near-future dystopia where the United States has been torn apart under the authoritarian rule of a three-term president (Nick Offerman). Much of the road trip adventure feels a bit like Garland’s breakout 28 Days Later — only with murderous civilian soldiers touting assault rifles lurking around every turn instead of zombies. Civil War also stars Wagner Moura, Cailee Spaeny, Stephen McKinley Henderson and Sonoya Mizuno, and much of the cast was seeing the film for the first time at the Austin premiere.
