A great leader knows when to break them (the rules)

Rating: 7/10 (25 November 2017)

This is a Netflix film based on the Michael Hasting's fictional book "The Operators." The main character is General Glenn McMahon (Brad Pitt) who is sent to Afghanistan to do clean up and insists on escalation contrary to what President Obama wants.
The production is a dark comedy about a man who believes he can win an insurgency war when he makes the case against it explaining why he can win. McMahon bares a similarity to General Stanley A. McChrystal. The film has an all-star cast. Brad Pitt is terribly miscast talking with a fake froggy voice. Perhaps that was done by design to make fun of military leaders. In any case Pitt seemed out of place in the cast.
Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.
