John Malkovich miscast


First of all,he didn't at all act militarily to me.Secondly,a general will be at least late 40's.Malkovich looked like a guy in his mid-thirties with a bad makeup job.Terrible.

I thought the same thing at first.

However, it's likely that the character had an unorthodox military career, perhaps as a nuclear scientist who became a commissioned officer in the Army and was mostly involved in the Army's nuclear research program from then on. So perhaps it's fitting that in spite of his rank he seemed more like a stereotypical scientist than a stereotypical Army General.
