““It Takes a War” achieves in less than an hour what most blockbusters fail to achieve in hundreds of hours. It moves something inside me. Using Counter Strike 1.6 as a backdrop for a larger narrative is daring, but it works brilliantly. Breaking out of the level means facing your own fears and confronting reality. This balancing act between virtual familiarity and a place beyond your comfort zone makes “It Takes a War” an experience that lingers long after, like the shot from an AWP.”
