War Machine (2017)


IMDb plot summary: An idiosyncratic general confronts opposition from enemies, allies, and bureaucrats while leading a massive rebuild operation in Afghanistan.
Directed by David Michôd. Starring Brad Pitt, Daniel Betts, John Magaro, and Emory Cohen.

The tone of this movie is all over the place. While it's telling an interesting story and getting into some interesting details, it's too serious to actually be a comedy but too broadly goofy to actually be a drama. The result is an awkward tone shift every five minutes, and it's messy.

1.5 stars.

How it entered my Flickchart:
War Machine < Kiki's Delivery Service
War Machine > Along Came a Spider
War Machine < Sixteen Candles
War Machine < The Life of David Gale

Final spot: #1980 out of 2805.
