War Machine

A rock star general bent on winning the “impossible” war in Afghanistan takes us inside the complex machinery of modern war. Inspired by the true story of General Stanley McChrystal.

Review

A satirical view of the politics of war that sometimes feels a bit too boring. Ben Kingsley's portrayal of President Karzai was short but especially funny.
