ThiefHott Too much of everything
SunnyHello Nice effects though.
Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
Jenni Devyn Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.
Sankari_Suomi The US military needs guns and ammo, dammit! Where does it all come from? Corrupt arms dealers, of course! Two Jewish guys decide they want a slice of this hot bullet time action, and hilarity ensues as they bungle their way from one deal to the next. It's all going well until they try to fill an order for 68 gazillion bullets, which requires an ill fated trip to the vile, backward hell hole of Albania, where the filthy Albanians have been stockpiling Cold War era 7.62mm ammo for the best part of a century. Suddenly everything goes to shit. Good times!Languages spoken: American, English, Albanian.I rate Small Town Crime at 26.64 on the Haglee Scale, which works out as a hilarious 8/10 on IMDB.
Ian (Flash Review)This was more plot-focused and less comedic-focused than I expected which wasn't a bad thing. Anticipating modern fluff, I didn't pick apart the plot to the nth degree which could easily be done. I just went along for the ride which was fairly entertaining. Solid acting, a rather engaging and detailed plot and a smattering of humorous bits. The story is 'loosely' based on a true story of a couple young guys taking advantage of a under-publicized Federal Government program to send small defense contracts to 'the little guys'. Selling arms and shipping them where needed. They get in over their head by bidding on a large contract which required more coordination and within the country of conflict. Will they be able to manage the contract? How will they manage to navigate international business in dangerous area? Fun and easy with a few smirks and better than average for the genre.
Michael Ledo "War Dogs" is based on a true story about small time arms dealers making it big, getting greedy.We meet the likable David Packouz (Miles Teller) a licensed masseuse eking by in Miami with an expecting wife. In comes his best friend from LA, Efraim Diveroli (Jonah Hill) a licensed arms dealer, setting up shop in Miami. He brings in David to help him peruse tens of thousands of postings where they can make money as a middle man/broker. The problem is they don't do their homework and as such they need to do work arounds some of which skirt the law and some break the law.The selection of Hill and Teller made what could have been a boring docu-drama into a comedy-drama where we can identify with the bad guys as protagonists. The real David Packouz has a cameo as a singer. Bradly Cooper has a minor role as another likable bad guy.Entertaining and informative.Guide: F-words. No sex or nudity. Sex talk
kosmasp Lord of War isn't that bad a comparison and throwing a bit of Wolf of Wall Street (with a tighter two men approach to it), you would say that comparison nails it. This is based on something that really happened and just the way it is portrayed is kind of mesmerizing. You wouldn't think some of those things would be possible. Would actually apply to the real world ... but apparently they do.Being the Devil's Advocate is one thing, getting greedy another. But you could almost argue it's human nature. And you wouldn't be too far off. Although obviously some do have a moral compass even when it doesn't always work, it may set off at some point and remind them of something they want and something they are or aren't. You may be shocked at how easy some things where back then, but that's life ... and it's really all about the ... Benjamins
