A spoof on American conflict in Afghanistan, as unfunny as it is unentertaining

Rating: 1/10 (3 February 2019)

When I started to watch I couldn't figure out the movie. Was it serious with a really bad actor playing the lead? Was it a spoof, with an even worse portrayal of the General? I read another review which explained it as a take off on the General Mc Crystal thing, and that helped me figure it out, but it didm't make it any more entertaining.
Brad Pitt does a horrible version of a gravely voiced general, it just sounds super fake. I didn't even recognize him with his George Peppard look . The only thing convincing is when he puts on the "stupid face"....hummmmm...well, the rest of the actors are actually not bad, which makes Pitts horrid performance stand out in sharp relief.
A good spoof gives you a good combination of belly laughs, mixed with a sort of feel good natured look at those we usually fawn over in a make fun of sort of way. In this film it doesn't work at all. it's like watching a porno film with no women and no sex, which leaves nothing, actually. This role shouldn't have been a stretch for the actor, I'm suprised it came out so bad.
