The Machine Ratings & Reviews

Kevin WardJuly 2, 2025
This was surprisingly fun even if it’s equally dumb. Jimmy Tatro as young Bert Kreischer is inspired casting. I think what won me over was when Idina said “Did I do that?” I’m pretty sure I did a spit take. It’s otherwise largely forgettable, but I had an enjoyable drive to our vacation spot. It could be your next decent airplane movie.
