Precisett This movie is magnificent!
Console best movie i've ever seen.
CommentsXp Best movie ever!
Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
marinaalexe I realize some parts were supposed to be funny but the portrail of Albania was insulting. And if you film this in Romania and try to pass it as Albania, do a better job of it. At least try! You could not show recognizable buildings or licence plates. And I was offended by the fact that the only time someone spoke 'Albanian' (the woman looking for her husband) it was in fact Romanian. Make the minimum effort to have someone speak Albanian and do not offend other countries by your laziness.
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
FilmBuff1994 War Dogs is a good movie with a reasonably well developed plot and a top notch comedic cast. Jonah Hill and Miles Teller definitely own this movie, their chemistry on screen together is undeniable. There is a great back and forth between them that had me in stitches on several occasions, and they also shined in more dramatic moments when we really get to see these character's relationship. I had expected more, I was anticipating more fun, it took itself quite seriously at times. I understand that it is based on serious events, but it is advertised as a comedy with the same levels of Superbad and The Hangover, so I was not hoping for, nor was I pleased with, long, dragged out dialogue scenes. We do not know who to support in this movie either. David is clearly set up as the protagonist who watches his friend Efraim drive to the brink of insanity. However, David is not a very likable character either, he is greedy and self centered, while he may have some good traits, it's not enough to make him a protagonist we support. It's fun, but very forgettable. It has its flaws, but War Dogs is a good time while it lasts, would recommend it to anyone looking for a good comedy or crime film, just do not go out of your way to see it. Two lifelong friends receive a contract from the Pentagon to become arm dealers for American troops in Afghanistan. Best Performance: Jonah Hill
angelsunchained War Dogs was entertaining enough, but far from anything great or even good. Mr.Hill gave me a headache. He overacts each scene and yells, curses, yells louder and yells even louder the whole movie. Mr.Teller is a snore bore and his performance is nothing to write home about. The film is basically a ripoff of Boiler Room and The Wolf of Wall Street. I can only guess that the eighty million box office take was from teenage and young males. There is nothing appealing about either character and if anything presents a dismal take on the desire to become successful. War Dogs is a Bow Wow...
