Alex Garland’s next film, Civil War, comes out in theaters this upcoming weekend. But before we review his latest effort, we take a look back at the director’s career and discuss the films that have brought him to this point in his career. Most notably known as a writer, Garland has also directed some notable features including Ex Machina, Annihilation, and Men. We break down some of his directorial trademarks, while also leading into our expectations for Civil War next weekend.
