Watching the movie Civil War and pleasantly surprised. The war is just a backdrop for a story about war reporters. Can I guess that they are portrayed as noble, concerned, dedicated and brave? The best of the best?
Putting that aside, is the acting decent and the script w/o the endless cliches? The trailer looks like the Call of Duty video game.

Exactly what I was expecting, which is why I was surprised. No they aren't portrayed as dedicated and brave, but more as ruthless adrenaline junkies who end up haunted by their past, ready to step over bodies to hunt the "shocking" image while staying relatively detached. Kirsten Dunst is the old jaded veteran and takes a younger version of herself under her wing. Not saying any of this is Oscar worthy, just wasn't what I was expecting and overall a good movie. EDIT: I'm insulted you would think I'd recommend a movie as you described. Meet me in the field for a duel.

Next Jets home game at halftime.

Next Jets home game at halftime. You lose. Raul‘s kid already paced off the hundred yards in the parking lot so he’s already zeroed in.

I’m sure it’ll barely resemble the true story but I’ll watch anyway because most everything else sucks.
