Funny how a lot of critics and reviewers misunderstood this film

Rating: 8/10 (12 December 2017)

This is, so far, my favorite film of the year (i haven't watched Three Billboard, Call Me by Your Name, and all of those oscar-fancy film) as much as the film was trying to be political by criticizing the Afghanistan war, it's also about a character. A classically trained general in a modern war whose agenda is to win win win no matter what.
a lot of critics and reviewers saying that the film didn't have anything to say rather than just to inform you that America lost the war. some even said that it's brutal how the film was disagreeing with the general. well, of course! because the film was about criticizing the general himself. he was portrayed as a good soldier, slighly narcisstic, yet unaware of the real situation and also a slightly lack of moral.
there are also people that were criticizing Brad Pitt's over the top performance. well, it's a parody! the filmmaker was trying to portray him as "soldier" as possible and then exaggerate him. nobody complained about Daniel Day Lewis performance in There Will be Blood.
all and all. it's a very good film with a lot of funny moments.
