That's it, that's the whole movie. The movie sure as fuck doesn't explain what the titular civil war is fought for, much less the retarded CA-TX alliance.
Oh, and all the "good-coded" characters are minorities and le ebil baddy bads are ypipo, of course.
That whole analysis that the film is ginning up journos is so weird to me.
The journalists in that film come off as amoral psychopaths. They're adrenaline junkie glory hounds concerned with only the scoop, with the emotional maturity of teenagers and no consistent morals. They're constantly getting people killed with their incompetence and contributing nothing in return.
The concept might have superficially looked like it promised an examination of real war, but the execution was the same as a dumb teen shock-horror movie, it's just a string of tense, gory vignettes interspersed with camping and road trip scenes. And they knew how it came out too, the trailers before the main movie were exclusively dumb slasher flicks too.
It's just a gory horror movie under a thin guise of civil war.
DAE journalists are the real heroes???
