‘Land of Bad’ is a fine war movie—maybe not on the level of, say, ‘Platoon,’ but easily in the same ballpark as ‘13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi.’

“Land of Bad” was released on Feb. 16 and immediately got drop-kicked by the critic community. I decided to wait for the audience response, with intent to review for the streaming release on March 19. Results? Rotten Tomatoes audience score: 94 percent. Yup—that’s my kinda movie.
