'Warfare' star Joseph Quinn says film is 'raw, real, and without exposition'

Joseph Quinn has a lot going on for him on the professional front. The actor will soon take flight as the superhero Johnny Storm. However, before he suits up for 'Fantastic Four: First Steps', fans will get to watch him in action on the battlefield in Warfare. Directed by Iraq War veteran Ray Mendoza and filmmaker Alex Garland, the film drops audiences directly into the chaos of combat, as it offers an unflinching, real-time portrayal of modern combat, camaraderie, and survival.

Quinn, who plays Sam, a character inspired by real-life SEAL Joe Hildebrand, who was severely injured during an evacuation. Speaking about the script, he said, "It’s a very contained script — you’re dropped in the middle of these people’s lives with very little exposition." He adds, “There’s something about the way Alex and Ray have framed these characters where it’s one organism, rather than a selection of characters — you watch them navigate something going terribly awry and how their brotherhood and camaraderie gets them out.”
