War Machine Ratings & Reviews
The Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
The film's R rating is well-deserved thanks to the profusion of burnt and dismembered bodies on view in the alien machine's wake. Unfortunately, the screenplay by Hughes and co-writer James Beaufort leaves much to be desired.
Reel Talk with Chuck and Pam
Charles Koplinski
Ritchson's stoic, imposing presence is a focal point when lasers aren't lasing and guns aren't shooting. But he brings more to the table, giving an effectively modulated, emotional performance as flashbacks provide the reasoning behind 81's tenacity.
ComicBook.com
Simon Gallagher
Overall, a near two hour movie that amounts to a cat-and-mouse chase through the woods is just too long
Midwest Film Journal
Nick Rogers
Excepting the risible rah-rah recruitment of its final five minutes, "War Machine" is a reasonably diverting riff on "Predator," proof that Alan Ritchson can carry a film, and a surprisingly solid exploration of military depression.
The Cosmic Circus
Maxance Vincent
Hughes has never been a particularly impressive filmmaker. War Machine has finally allowed him to showcase what kind of action artist he is, without any constraints.
New York Times
Robert Daniels
Though Ritchson tries to humanize 81's sudden thrust into leadership, his tics, doubling as clichés, lack depth.

Chris Joyce
While Alan Ritchson is a physical beast and has some wonderful comedic talents to complement his action prowess, nothing in this production allows him to shine or stand out other than as a towering muscular soldier who doesn't want to give up.
The Spool
Tim Stevens
It is a rough-and-tumble movie that moves quickly and leaves maximum devastation. If the actors can pour out some humanity onscreen along the way, well, so be it.
Lyles' Movie Files
Jeffrey Lyles
Part Predator, part Michael Bay's Transformers, War Machine is an intense, fun action spectacle that doesn't ask much of viewers beyond taking in and enjoying the carnage.

A Mindless Action-Packed Film That Is Largely Forgettable
Talking Films
Casey Chong
It's man vs. machine in Netflix's disposable but visceral sci-fi action thriller.

Bore Machine.
AV Club
Caroline Siede
Forget the gritty realism and quippy one-liners that so often define the modern action genre, War Machine is proudly, almost guilelessly old-fashioned.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
This testosterone-fueled throwback sci-fi action saga emphasizes brawn over brains while failing to cover any meaningful new territory.
CBR
Jamie Parker
Perfectly serviceable as a straightforward action movie, but its reluctance to dig more than surface deep... hold it back.
Bloody Disgusting
Paul Lê
This new clash between military brawn and extraterrestrial precision gets points for simply going bigger with its alien antagonist, but nearly everything else in this movie is underwhelming.
Geek Vibes Nation
M.N. Miller
Alan Ritchson is electric in War Machine, a kinetic and visceral high-octane action thriller.
Polygon
Tasha Robinson
The pleasures of Netflix's sci-fi action movie War Machine are simple, straightforward, and gut-level. There's a strong thread of competence porn here, and it covers both what's happening on screen, and what's clearly going on behind it.
RogerEbert.com
Monica Castillo
It's not a movie built to withstand big questions, but for a high-octane action thriller, it's a lot more fun when it goes off the rails.
TheWrap
William Bibbiani
If you can accept the fact that it's big, silly and brainless, and nowhere near as good as its obvious influences, and also that it's shameless propaganda, it's still possible to have a good time.
