Barry Caine San Jose Mercury News Besides its grating smugness, the picture pummels you with its political points until you want to kick it in the shin. There are a few laughs and a lot of embarrassing moments. May 7, 2020 Full Review Joe Morgenstern Wall Street Journal Surrounded by sententiousness and self-preening, Marisa Tomei manages to play a skeptical journalist with easy charm, but her efforts are doomed by the movie's ceaseless barrage of dumb bombs. May 7, 2020 Full Review Ben Kenigsberg Time Out Rated: 2/5 Nov 18, 2011 Full Review Joanne Laurier World Socialist Web Site At its best, War, Inc. reaches the level of a biting-and courageous-political satire. Mar 5, 2021 Full Review Sonny Bunch Washington Times "War, Inc." transforms from a precise satire taking a scalpel to the absurdities of the war on terror to a bludgeoning sledgehammer. Rated: 2/5 May 7, 2020 Full Review Al Alexander The Patriot Ledger For all the great performances, clever sight gags and relevant issues concerning the corporate take over of America, "War, Inc." is never all that it can be.

Tony S Silly, non-serious, at times funny, at many other times, just nonsense. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 05/26/25 Full Review Tina S This movie was literally unwatchable and I pay for lifetime movie club. I challenge anyone to try and get through the first 10 minutes. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/24/25 Full Review Georgan G This comedy of war-mongers is a cartoon. Therefore, it's over the top, which makes it wonderful. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/14/24 Full Review steve d A muddled collection of ideas that don't work. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Hilary Duff puts a scorpion down her crotch. Im sure some other things happen as well. Two stars. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member War inc seems afraid to push farther on the concept it satirizes. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Read all reviews
