By Rocco Thompson| Slant Magazine Verified Few things make us question the grammar of cinema and the limits of its capacity to emulate real horrors like the topic of war, a fact that Alex Garland is keenly aware of and tackles head on in his new film Warfare. Co-directed by Iraq War veteran Ray Mendoza, the film is based on the memories of the SEAL team members who lived through a mission that went wrong in November of 2006 in Ramadi, the most populous city in western Iraq.
