Superb

Rating: 9/10 (1 June 2017)

Greetings from Lithuania.
"War Machine" (2017) was a very pleasant surprise for me. I kinda expected it to be ... i don't know what after seeing mixed critics reviews and kinda low score on IMDb. But this is a superbly involving, funny, smart movie in the best traditions of "Wag the Dog" (1997) and other good satire movies.
Brad Pitt absolutely kills it as Gen. Glen McMahon - this is a over the top performance which could be said (and is said by many) is a bad one, but i found it superb - exactly suited for a role - this one of the most interesting performances in his carrier in many moons. Supporting performances were solid and especially by Anthony Michael Hall. There are also some very well known faces made a cameos, all great ones. Script was smart, involving and sometimes very funny. Directing was solid - at running time 2 hours this movie never dragged and was involving from start till finish.
Overall, "War Machine" is a superb movie for those who like smart satires about war. It is surprisingly original movie the one which isn't predictable for a second. All in all this is a superb picture.
