The film War Machine follows Ritchson’s character, 81, as he endures the incredibly demanding US Army Ranger training. Just as he’s nearing completion, he encounters a terrifying new enemy. The movie blends a touching personal story with thrilling action, making it an enjoyable, fast-paced experience, though it perhaps doesn’t delve as deeply into its themes as some might like.
The film features a team of U.S. Army Rangers, led by Alan Ritchson, in a role that feels like a somewhat uninspired attempt to emulate action stars like Arnold Schwarzenegger. Unfortunately, a weak script from director Patrick Hughes and James Beaufort doesn’t help Ritchson create a truly compelling character – he comes across as just another generic action hero. The real focus of the movie is actually the alien robot, reminiscent of those in Transformers, that’s hunting Ritchson and his team. If you can overlook the film’s overly serious tone and predictable plot, it surprisingly manages to be quite engaging.
