Honestly, I expected more. The comedy was few and far between, but perhaps the fact that Brad Pitt was pulling stupid facial expressions the entire time is considered funny. I can understand what they were trying to achieve, but realistically - it fell far below the bar. It was awkward to watch and not very interesting.

The film struggles to know whether its comedy or drama, but then, ironically, such is the nature of war itself. While this satire doesn't quite work, not helped by Pitt's uneven pantomime character, there is a welcome sense of poignancy by the end.

This movie depicts a bitter truth in a witty way, many who don't like to swallow bitter pills would not find it funny. Brad Pitt really came out of his comfort zone and played interesting character very well. I guess he is now on a path to grow old gracefully and to open himself for a characters like this one.

You need to have specific sense of humour to be amused, most people will never understand the idea.

Suffered through the first 50 minutes of this before switching it off - about 49 minutes too late! I like Brad Pitt, but this is sooooo bad he should have his name removed from it.

A hell of true and sad story that is the Afghanistan War. An original Netflix production always attracts me, and having Brad Pitt on board playing this unique character made it a must see movie in my case.

Brad Pitt played the role of the general perfectly, honestly better then what I expected from Pitt.

It isn't the action packed comedy true story that I was expecting, a bit slower then I hoped and it is the realization of the US War Machine in action. I was hoping for some of happy ending but didn't get what I was expecting, but still it was a good movie even though a bit on the slow side.

I am extremely surprised by this film, I expected Fury or Bastards. I really liked this. I find the description blurp "a rock star general bent on ..." to be an incredibly poor description.

Pitt is a caricature of a modern Patton, there are a number of troupe characters that surround him, he has a marriage, he has his legacy, his "impossible" mission, it's a train wreck with Obama, cable news, leaks, "nation building" and such. Pretty good armchair primer on the issues for a lot of people and a good watch.

I see more of an easy to swallow Catch 22 meets Strange Love meets modernized Patton.

At times I wished it would cut loose on political commentary, but it does a good job.

Brad Pitt played too pretentious and pompous, no general was what he played, he was not a general, he was a fool cooking squad leader with a stalk on his neck, although his hair was dyed white, but Pete didn't seem to have fought a battle, and his performance was too bad.

This movie started out being funny, then the humor became less and less around an hour or so in, and it started becoming much more serious. Brad Pitt was perfect in this role, and the movie was fantastic.

I'm watching this movie for the first time in January 2022 and let me tell you that it has aged like a fine wine.

This movie is even funnier at this point in time after the recent fuck-up in Afghanistan by the newly elected Biden administration in the US. Basically, since August 2021 Taliban has taken back and rules Afghanistan, again! Today, the Afghan Republic (2001-2021) only exists in a Wikipedia article. Good work US Democrats, you absolute muppets! :rofl:

This movie captures the sentiment among the US troops including the disdain they had for politicians and bureaucrats. This movie is also based on a true story. The name of Brad Pitt's character is changed here to a different one. The real general they are portraying is general Stanley Allen McChrystal.
