CriticsCritics: 52
AudienceAudience: 5.8

A celebrated general arrives in Afghanistan determined to win an apparently impossible war. As he navigates military bureaucracy, political pressures, shifting alliances, and conflicting priorities, the film examines the machinery and contradictions behind modern warfare.

My take

You may enjoy this if you like politically charged war satires such as Whiskey Tango Foxtrot or The Men Who Stare at Goats; Not for you if you want focused action, consistent comedy, or emotional depth.
