It's funny to me that most of the people that give this movie a bad review are stuck on the fact that the movie doesn't tell you why there is a civil war, or that California and Texas are allies and say "that would never happen"...really?...no kidding! That is exactly why the movie did this. It wasn't trying to politicize the movie or take a far left or far right view, it was trying to show how F'd up a civil war scenario would be. It was a movie that should send shivers down your spine, because if something like this played out it would be horrifying...no winners.
