Review of War Dogs (2016) by Tvjerry — 07 Sep 2016
Remember "Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?" It starred Tina Fey and the previews looked hilarious. This film has the same MO: the advance ads make it look like a rollicking comedy (after all, director Todd Phillips created the "Hangover" series), but the reality of the movie is much more somber.
Jonah Hill and Miles Teller plays friends who end up as arms dealers to the US military. It starts out with some lighthearted fun (and Hill's arrogant asides), but as it progresses, the seriousness of their situation develops into a personal and political drama.
As a result, this becomes an interesting true story about the foilables of our military system with a compelling performance by Teller.
