I get that it’s some modern-dystopia civil war.

But like who’s against whom? And what is everyone fighting for?
The basic idea is a president takes a third term and doesn't relinquish power, the people revolt. But beleive it or not the movie isn't really about that, and it's kind of vague and less important

The movie really just follows a group of 4 journalists who are trying to get shots of the front line of combat, and gives an incredibly realistic first hand POV of what it would be like to live through a civil war
Translation:

Uhhhhh…Duhhhh…Muhhhhhh….

My work buddy saw it last night.

He’s ranting about how much he didn’t like it.

Says the lack of context as to which sides are which and who’s fighting for what and how it all got to the point it got is frustrating.

Without that, he says it came across to him as a mindless shootemup.

Sounds like he hates the Star Wars movies (in total).

So, he missed the entire point of the movie.

Also, for a “shootem up”…it was pretty light on people being shot up.
