War Crimes

About This Movie

So, War Crimes is an interesting little comedy that blends dark humor with some pretty tense family dynamics. You've got Sam, who’s juggling the pressures of impending fatherhood while also being the caretaker for his dad, who’s in a vegetative state. The pacing is a bit uneven at times, but that really adds to the quirky atmosphere of the film. The themes of family loyalty and greed surface as Sam starts to doubt his nephew Paul’s intentions regarding his father’s war medals—definitely raises the stakes in a way that’s both humorous and unsettling. This isn’t your run-of-the-mill comedy; it’s got a unique edge that makes you think, even if it’s wrapped in some absurd situations.

War Crimes is kind of a hidden gem among indie comedies, often overlooked in favor of more mainstream fare. Its distribution was limited, making physical copies somewhat of a rarity. Collectors have shown a growing interest, particularly in its unique blend of humor and drama, which sets it apart in the genre. As it ages, it may pick up more appreciation, especially amongst those who enjoy offbeat narratives.
