Dull and pointless

Rating: 1/10 (30 May 2017)

The acting was bland, there was no action, the dialogue was uninspiring, and there was no message or deep conflict of philosophies. I suppose that some will praise Pitt's gravely voice, with which he says nothing. Some think of this movie as an anti-war statement. At best it was a mild statement about how poorly our leaders and military understand the situation in AFGH. That lack of understanding can be no shock, given Vietnam, Iraq, Somalia, and too many others. Luckily, if one has a Netflix subscription, one may watch if "for free". A waste of time, however.
