       War Dogs is a decent flick that draws heavily from things we
       have already seen before. Sure, this is a True Story, but it
       can't be helped that you will point out other movies that have
       come before. Simply put, War Dogs is a cross between The Wolf of
       Wall Street and Scareface with a scene lifted directly from
       Goodfellas when they do the whole VO Narration at the end.
       Instead of Stocks and Drugs, we are entrenched right in the
       middle of the story of Gunrunners at the height of the Iraq War
       in which two guys somehow managed to swindle and con the US
       Government by awarding them a contract to supply munitions for
       the Afghan National Army worth approximately $300 million.
       Normally I would say these two characters types are idiots. But
       how can I call them that when they were able to so easily con
       the Army?
       Both Jonah Hill and Miles Teller both do a good job in their
       respective roles. I gotta hand it to Jonah who is dedicated to
       his art and packs on the pounds. I really don't know how he does
       this for every other role and not run the risk of damaging his
       health. Small cameo by Bradley Cooper which I wasn't expecting.
       Anyway, decent flick as I mentioned. Worth a Rent at best.
       Interesting story that I never really heard in great detail til
       now.
