In this episode of the Fresh Popcorn Podcast, Juice and FENiX give their unfiltered review of the Netflix film War Machine.

They dive into:

The strong opening and why it worked

Where the plot falls apart

Issues with character development and execution

The role and performance of Alan Ritchson

Problems with special effects and overall direction

While the film had potential, both hosts agree it didn’t deliver when it mattered most. They even compare it to Reacher, recommending viewers stick with that instead.
