Alan Ritchson’s new Netflix action sci-fi War Machine is the ideal weekend watch

Patrick Hughes, who also co-wrote the screenplay with James Beaufort, directs War Machine. The film stars Joe Ritchson as a soldier hoping to become a US Army Ranger, a goal he once shared with his brother (played by Jai Courtney). While the reason his brother isn’t with him isn’t revealed right away, the movie quickly establishes what happened to him.
