Alex Garland, renowned for his work The Beach and 28 Days Later back in the 2000s, continues to carve out hits, increasingly delving into the genres of horror and military drama. Last year, Garland released Civil War, starring Kirsten Dunst, which grossed over $120 million on a $50 million budget, with discussions about the film continuing long after its premiere. This year, Garland has two major releases — the much-anticipated sequel to 28 Days Later, 28 Years Later, and the action-packed drama Warfare.
Though it's yet to be fully released to audiences, critics are praising the film, with Warfire currently holding a 91% "fresh" rating on Rotten Tomatoes from 45 reviews. If the rating rises even slightly, it could surpass Garland's highest-rated film to date, the 2014 sci-fi Ex Machina, which holds a 92% rating. Following that are Annihilation at 88% and Civil War at 81%.
Warfire also boasts a stellar cast, with lead roles played by Will Poulter, Cosmo Jarvis, Kit Connor, Taylor John Smith, and Joseph Quinn. The film’s world premiere took place on April 9, and it looks set to capture the attention of both critics and audiences alike.
