War Machine on Netflix Cast Welcomes Suicide Squad Icon
Alan Ritchson stars as combat engineer 81 leading U.S. Army Rangers on a mission that escalates into a battle with a deadly extraterrestrial robot, premiering now on Netflix.
- Recently, War Machine premiered on Netflix, with Alan Ritchson starring as combat engineer 81 leading U.S. Rangers against a giant alien robot that transforms and attacks with deadly rays.
- During final Ranger training in Colorado, commanding officers Dennis Quaid and Esai Morales recruit 81 to lead a wilderness retrieval of a downed pilot, sparking the mission's turning point.
- Practical stunts and pyrotechnics include an excavator sequence and a rapids rope stunt, with the director Patrick Hughes making all action look cool and many stunts performed by the lead actor.
- Ritchson's Reacher fame and a high-profile supporting cast suggest the film will attract action audiences, while reviewers note the gung-ho patriotic ending could resemble a military recruitment commercial.
- Reviewers called War Machine shameless pro-military propaganda but big, silly fun; critics compared it unfavorably to Predator and labeled it a featherweight B-movie.
