War Machine

This Brad Pitt performance is something else. In fact, it often overwhelms the film... War Machine is - bizarre, darkly funny, occasionally sharp - the sort of film in which characters don't quite know what to do with their hands, or their mouths.

Brad Pitt struggles to make his character McMahon more than a caricature.

War Machine is that kind of lean, mean, fighting machine. Patrick Hughes, who helmed The Expendables 3 and other action films, has created a serviceable, if derivative, action thriller. Despite that, War Machine delivers on its promise of non-stop action and has left the door open for a sequel as well.
