Better Than Expected

Rating: 7/10 (21 December 2016)

This is based upon true events
Two friends David Packouz (Miles Teller) and Efraim Diverolia (Jonah Hill) venture into the International Arms race and deliver on a contract to provide guns to Baghdad, Iraq. Later, they search Pentagon Offers and - with some creative accounting - win a $300- million Arms Contract to supply the Afghanistan Army with AK-47 ammunition.
I didn't think I would like this because I was afraid Jonah Hill would try to be a comedian again and he's never close to that consideration. This is considered a Comedy/Drama (Whaaaa?) However, I saw this as light drama only and found that Jonah Hill does a very good job. If there were funny lines in here I missed all of them. His partner, David, has his troubles with his wife. Bradley Cooper is Henry Girard, who is able to get the logistics part of the Afghanistan contract for the boys.
Sound like a slam-dunk, right? Things do go wrong and not in areas you would think. A problem arises when the boys find out the ammo is Chinese, not Russian as they were told, and the US won't accept that. The solution is the beginning of their downfall. (Whaaaa?) Then later David gets a call from a New York Times reporter regarding the contract in Afghanistan. Oh, oh. Here we go The beginning of this had way too many F-bombs all over the place. Everyone spouted them with every utterance. Then, for some unknown reason, the F-bombs went away and slowed down a lot. Still there but not like In the beginning. Why all the F-bombs? Realism? Give me a break. (Me too)
Notable: a very pretty Ana de Armas as Iz, David's wife.
All in all, not bad, and better than expected. Yes, they get caught, but the reason they get caught is something you will not believe, but..believe it. (7/10)
Violence: Yes. Sex: No. Nudity: No. Language: Yes, too much in the beginning.
