Forget ‘Reacher’: Netflix’s ‘War Machine’ Is Alan Ritchson’s Best Movie

Released on Netflix on March 6, 2026, War Machine, directed by Patrick Hughes, has quickly become a hit. The film’s exciting story and well-executed action, set in a jungle environment, are major reasons for its success. While inspired by the original Predator films – it features trainees in a rigorous Ranger program facing off against a massive alien robot – War Machine offers plenty of originality. Netflix and director Patrick Hughes are pleased with the film’s reception, but Alan Ritchson likely benefits the most, as this role could be a turning point in his career.
