Kit Connor’s new movie Warfare was quietly added to Prime Video in the UK over the weekend.
The war film boasts an impressive cast, including the Heartstopper actor, alongside Stranger Things‘ Joseph Quinn, and The Bear‘s Will Poulter. It was written and directed by Alex Garland (28 Days Later, Ex Machina) and former US Navy SEAL Ray Mendoza.
Based on Mendoza’s real-life experience, the movie follows a platoon in the Iraq War in 2006 as they conduct a mission through insurgent territory.
Warfare premiered to impressive first reactions, and debuted with a 93% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes, which it still holds.
In Digital Spy‘s four-star review, we wrote: “Warfare does not give the viewer a single moment of peace. There’s no classic release of tension or heroic shot that saves the day – it’s nearly an hour of full-on sensory assault as the platoon attempt an evacuation.

“Arguably the most impressive element of Warfare is how anonymous [the characters] feel, how they could truly be any young man fighting a war they didn’t start.”
Elsewhere, Inverse said: “Few American war movies have featured the kind of breathtaking tension Warfare instills.” Empire, meanwhile, stated that the film is “all the more effective for its simplicity”.
