Rating: 8/10 (29 August 2016)

"War is a economy" a quote from this film which lets face it this quote is true. War dogs the true story of 2 friends, David Packouz a young man trying to make a living for him and his expecting girlfriend and his best friend at school Efraim Diveroli. Packouz (miles teller) shines in the dark gritty true story and Diveroli (jonah hill) is brilliant as the shady friend that will stop at nothing to make money. The two friends reunited at a funeral and through desperation Packouz agrees to go work with Diveroli on becoming arms dealers for the U.S army. The story is told well and keeps you on edge of your seat. This film reminded me of the Nicholas cage film Lord of war from 2005 which was also about a arms dealer, but as much as i enjoyed that film War Dogs is much much better. With a brilliant Bradley Cooper in a supporting role War Dogs is one of the must see films of 2016.
