Confusing purpose and message, terrible acting

Rating: 3/10 (21 July 2017)

If -- for whatever reason -- you must, you better watch this film on a device that allows you to skip through the countless and prolonged gratuitous sections that do not develop the story (whatever that's supposed to be) one iota. The movie is not a comedy, because it's not funny. It's not a drama, because it has virtually no believably dramatic moments either. Which leaves only a thematic genre: war film. It's a boring, unfunny, non-dramatic film about a simple-minded general who's at war in Afghanistan. The cast is almost universally terrible, Brad Pitt delivers an insulting performance. There's exactly one (!) good scene, with Tilda Swinton being her usual awesome self and War Machine actually making an impression (about 73 minutes in). The rest is pointless, boring, or simply awful.
3/10.
