When I scrolled through the latest additions to Prime this weekend looking for something to distract me from the world, I was attracted to the grand war-movie art of Civil War. Helicopters buzzing over the Statue of Liberty in a scenario that, frankly, doesn't seem entirely beyond imagination these days.
I honestly really wanted to see that possible near future on film in the style of a great war movie, or perhaps something more action-before-common-sense. The tagline "An adrenaline-fueled thrill ride through a near-future fractured America balanced on the razor's edge" seemed to promise the kind of straightforward entertainment I had in mind so, for once, I just hit play rather than falling asleep still scrolling through the possibilities.
