High hopes of sharp political satire are shattered by its generic and often witless bro-comedy kicks.

I like how it used a comedic tone to this real and serious story about Afghan deal and and the illegal things related to it. As usual, Hill did spectacular and Teller is going there.

I actually remember reading the Rolling Stone article (Arms and the Dudes - also the film's original title) - though not the full book that followed. In any case, though certain liberties are certainly taken with this true story, it is still enjoyable and Miles Teller and Jonah Hill have a great time with their respective roles. I think the movie could have sent a more powerful message, rather than have fun, but overall, it's not a bad film and, once again, proves that real life provides infinitely more surreal and maddening stories than anyone could try to fabricate.

War Dogs is basically "The Wolf of Wall Street", "Lord of War" and a little dose of "American Hustle", but...well, you know, not very good. It wants to be like those movies but fails. To be honest, I don't know what I was expecting with this one since the trailers didn't look that good to me. ★ - One star for Miles Teller and Jonah Hill for at least trying. ★ - Another star for the film not boring me.
