2 hours that were not worth it

Rating: 4/10 (6 October 2017)

With such a great cast, I expected a great movie. Well, have I been wrong.
The movie concept was unique, that's for sure. Following a general during operations in Afghanistan could make for a great movie, if properly performed. Unfortunately, War Machine failed to do so. Little to no emotion was used. Every single one of the characters had a very, very curious personality, turning the movie into a freak show right away. At the 5-minute mark I assumed the movie to be a comedy. Yet, after not seeing a single comical seen for thirty minutes, I was confused as to what the purpose of the movie was. For a movie about a war, there was little to no action. General McMaho is portrayed as a quirky, freaky type of person, while at the same time acting as a true hero. It was obvious that the director wanted the viewer to have some mixed feelings, but what he got are confused ones.
In short| A waste of budget, of talent and of my time.
