From A Private War to The Covenant, these are the most underrated war movies of the last five years.
Ever since the inception of cinema, filmmakers have used their skills to recount the tragedies of war. Although the medium has evolved significantly since the “newsreels” of World War II, war films continue to occupy an important place in mainstream cinema. In recent years, films like Dunkirk, Oppenheimer, All Quiet On The Western Front, and Lone Survivor have established themselves as worthy new entries within the genre.
'A Hidden Life' Resisting the call to violence is an act of bravery itself, and the great arthouse filmmaker Terrence Malick explored the nature of resisting war itself in his brilliant 2019 historical drama A Hidden Life.The film tells the incredible true story of the Austrian farmer Franz Jägerstätter , who resisted recruitment by the Nazi forces during the peak of World War II. At over three hours long, A Hidden Life punishes the viewers in every step up Franz’ story.
'Greyhound' It’s clearly been established that Tom Hanks has a strong admiration and respect for the veterans that served in World War II. In addition to starring in the masterful war epic Saving Private Ryan, Hanks and Steven Spielberg produced the acclaimed World War II shows Band of Brothers and The Pacific.
Cumberbatch excels at showing that Greville is not adjusted to spycraft at all. He’s an average citizen, and he finds himself increasingly overwhelmed by a war that he does not understand. Zeroes and Ones can be difficult to follow due to the frantic pacing, but Ferrara excels at creating scenarios where the morality is confusing. If nothing else, Zeroes and Ones shows how truly disturbing it can be to see extremist rhetoric spread through violent discourse.
'Devotion' One of the best subgenres of war cinema is the “dogfight” film, but there’s sadly been rare films in recent memory that depict aerial combat with such realism. However, the underrated 2022 war film Devotion explores the real-life friendship between the U.S. Air Force pilots Jesse Brown and Tom Hudner , who served together during the Korean War, and the terrific chemistry between Majors and Powell make these characters even more likable.
