Brad Pitt's first time

Rating: 1/10 (28 May 2017)

I cringed watching this movie. Genuinely cringed. It was like someone had told Brad Pitt to ham it up as much as possible. There's no point in the film you feel the character he portrays is real. I don't know whether the script was so bad he felt he had to give his character all sorts of odd flaws and quirks but having served in the Military, there is nothing about any of the characters that was real, not would *any* of them act like that, especially at their level and rank. Their dialogue is completely flawed and even if they were trying to portray the team as one step removed from a bunch of frat boys it's still so far away from being engaging it's awful. The story is poorly told as well and from beginning to end it fails to deliver any form of satisfaction in terms of content, entertainment, or any other metric with which you might judge a good film. Possibly the worst film I have seen in years and Brad Pitt is normally not too bad, not my favourite actor but certainly I've never seen him do this badly before.
