Not Funny Failure....Obnoxious & Bland Satire About Gun-Running

Rating: 5/10 (4 January 2017)

A Drama/Comedy about a couple of Real-Life Scumbags (no not Bush and Cheney) but Two Twenty Something Buds who have a Jolly Good Time Making Money Selling War Weapons.
The Actual Shooting and Maiming of Real People is Hardly Questioned and left Off-Screen. That would be a Buzz-Kill. Because this Movie's Moral Center is All Over the Middle East Map with some Grounding in America's Upper Class Landscape.
The Film is Mildly Entertaining if You find War-Profiteering Mildly Entertaining. The Movie is Obnoxious, just like Jonah Hill and Bland, just like Martin Tiller.
It's all Slick and Shiny with very Little Insight and Fails to make much of a Statement about the Bush War, or Cheney's Haliburton, aside from Well Known Surface Stuff. The Music Cues are Scorsese-Esque and the Attitude Toward Guns and War are Shallow Sensational "Scarface" Stuff.
The Film seems to Think that Lying to One's Wife is more of a Crime than anything else that is going on here. It's a Half-Baked Mess of a Movie that is a Pale Shadow of the Films that it Copys. Especially the Great "Lord of War" (2005), Directed by Andrew Nicoll.
