Alejandro Turdo Hoy Sale Cine War and Justice’s detailed work make it absolutely clear how war in the 21st Century is an obsolete mechanism while focusing on the importance of a global legal order to provide justice and the need to put an end to the atrocities of all kinds of wars. Rated: 8/10 Jul 6, 2024 Full Review Alton Williams Battle Royale With Cheese Overall, ‘War and Justice’ is bound to split audiences as all people across the world know how strong and sometimes dangerous political ideologies can be. Jun 24, 2024 Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com War and Justice lacks the histrionics one may be expecting. Instead, Gentile and Vetter clearly trust the inherent power of their material to leave a lasting impact. That trust is most warranted. Rated: 3.5/4.0 Jun 15, 2024 Full Review Ronak Kotecha ReviewRon “Justice is the only hope for peace” - is sure to ring on in one’s ears. One only hopes now that it does the same for the errant powers-that-are. Rated: 4/5 Jun 13, 2024 Full Review Kenneth R. Morefield 1More Film Blog As more and more recent conflicts are folded into the narrative, any differences between them get glossed over in favor of a "war is bad" message. Easy enough to agree, but is that the sum total of the argument? Rated: 2/4 Jun 5, 2024 Full Review Morgan Rojas Cinemacy A politically charged exploration of the International Criminal Court (ICC) and its importance in keeping order in an increasingly disordered world. A definite must-watch. May 27, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
