On this March 6, here's what's making entertainment headlines. Alan Richardson, the star of Reacher, leads the new Netflix action movie War Machine, which just hit the platform. He plays a troubled Army Ranger candidate guiding his team through a training exercise that goes wrong when they discover a massive crashed alien. Machine on Earth. The film comes from director Patrick Hughes, who also helmed the hitman's bodyguard, and he co-wrote the script with James Beaufort. The story draws clear inspiration from the classic predator, pitting tough soldiers against the deadly extraterrestrial foe in the woods. But War Machine stands out with its take on artificial intelligence as the real villain, pushing back against tech takeover rather than accepting it. Viewers and critics have mixed feelings, with the movie earning a 3.2 rating on letterbox to so far. One reviewer called it, a solid surprise, praising Richardson's strong performance in a straightforward action flick. It feels like the kind of no-frills thriller your dad might rewatch on cable during lazy weekends.
While it lacks predators humor and flair, it delivers reliable thrills without over-complicating things. Just days ago, reports surface of the United States government using AI in a strike on Iran, making the film's anti-AI message seem even more like pure fantasy. Still, if you're in the mood for easy action, it's streaming now on Netflix. Support for this DNA and episode comes from our sponsor. Press play. Put your head down. The sound is already there.
