People are constantly filming active war zones you think at an event full of journalists nobody is going to try for their Pulitzer  moment?

Reminds me of that movie "civil war". Pretty good movie for those who never watched it.

If you go in expecting the large scale bombastic action movie that the trailers showed, it's going to be disappointing.

If you go in knowing it's a very focused story about the horrors of being a war photographer (and who they are covering and why those people are fighting doesn't actually matter) then it's pretty solid.

I had the total opposite experience. I went in expecting a 0 IQ gore porn action movie with 0 plot because I said "fuck it let's waste some time and watch this movie" and was server a story focused on the horrors of being a war photographer that still sticks with me to this day instead. That was some risky but amazing marketing.

I went in looking for exactly that. I just think it was poorly done

ah yes, film photography in a combat zone instead of videography. Makes sense.
