Unlikely Arms Dealers

Rating: 7/10 (20 September 2017)

Efraim Diveroli (Jonah Hill), David Packouz (Milles Teller) renew their friendship at a funeral in Miami. Packouz is working as a masseuse, a job he hates and Hill has started his own business after working for his uncle selling guns. Together they secure an almost 300 million contact with the US government to sell arms to the allies in Afganistan.
Working with Henry, an arms dealer expert (Bradley Cooper), what could go wrong? Done as a comedy, but you can still learn quite a bit about arms deals and come away wondering, did these guys really do this?
This film is based on a 2011 Rolling Stone Article, "Arms and the Dudes," but as to what is actual, what is dramatized, or just outright fictional in this film, you might want to read the article first.
