Movie selling guns and making money fat funny guy

Other than that everything fails. I don’t know enough about the original story to determine the accuracy of Todd Phillips’s «War Dogs», but it’s an enjoyable movie. Sitting in the restaurant, Packouz tried to clear his head, cupping a hand over his cellphone to shut out the noise. And you evaluate your entire life and how you got up to this point and how you could be so stupid and all the mistakes that you’ve made.

Sign In. War Dogs Hide Funnt. Right off the bat the best part of this movie is the acting: Teller and Hill have great chemistry on screen. Jonah does a particularly good job at moneg the «guy you love to hate». I can’t attest to the faithfulness of their portrayal of the real life people since I don’t know anything about. The rest of the cast does a great job as. The marketing for this movie was, unfortunately, deceitful: the trailer made it out to be this upbeat, funny, over the top comedy — which it’s not.

In reality the movie has a much slower pace, not move lot of situational humor and is certainly not filled with hilarious quips the bulk of mmovie are in the trailer. This is not to say that the movie was bad or not at all funny, it just wasn’t what I expected and Wnd am sure I’m not gunny. My final critique will go unnoticed for the majority of viewers but I found it personally offensive so I have to report it: some of the movie takes place in Albania, only the set for Albania is actually Romania.

Which is fine, I understand that they probably did this for practical reasons and as a Romanian movie goer I just have to accept it we all recognized it immediately.

However, at some point in the movie an «Albanian» woman says something, only she says it in Romanian. This may not seem like much but it totally took me out of the movie and ruined the experience for me. I find it completely unacceptable that they could not hire an Albanian to say those few lines.

The two languages might seem interchangeable to the rest of the world, I am sure, but that was very much NOT the case for me and everyone else in the theater. I am a paying movie goer as well and I expect to be just as entertained as everyone. This is, of course, not the first time that I’ve seen this in a film. But when a producer does movje like this it shows me that they don’t respect their movie, so they can’t expect me gums.

My rating, however, is not based on this final bit of criticism. I’d still recommend it, just don’t expect to be blown away. Was this review helpful? Sign in to vote. SpoilerAlertReviews 1 September Miles Teller plays the struggling and ambitious David who bumps into his childhood buddy Efraim played by Jonah Hill who is somewhat of the opposite, a loose cannon, fearless and a little trigger-happy. Now, Efraim has found himself a little niche in the market, the market of arms dealing and strikes up small deals with the US military.

David needs a job to support his expecting girlfriend, the stunning Ana de Armas who looks a little like Penelope Cruz only more beautiful and has one of those exotic accents. Efraim sees an opportunity for David and the two team up to what leads to the deal of the vuy for all parties involved. Maybe it’s Miami? But it has that vibrant and funny yet serious storytelling style that makes the film almost unbelievable and shocking.

The rest of the cast does include Bradley Cooper who also produced the film, playing the harden, borderline war-criminal, pretty much the Branson of the arms market and someone you don’t really want to be messing funy. There’s Kevin Pollack playing the bankroll and an awesome cameo of venture capitalist playboy millionaire Dan Bilzerian. The film is highly entertaining, funny in parts but this is not a comedy; its perfectly paced with some great scenes like makinng duo gun-running across the triangle of death and some nice camera work.

However it’s not to epic portions, not that it should put anyone off watching this, it’s still a very watchable and enjoyable film and I don’t think they could have done it any better. The story is eye opening, relevant and very clearly told with a humorous tone through the serious subject matter. This is based on a true story with some fictionalized elements to make it entertaining. A massage therapist links up with a childhood friend who is a small time arms dealer.

Very movke to get a look at guyy legal but morally questionable world of arms dealing. I thought this would be a juvenile buddy movie with a bit of war thrown in but it isn’t. Yuns Hill has some funny lines and he does a great job with the over the top character but he can be subtly sinister when he needs to be. Miles Teller plays his character sympathetically and I liked him.

Quite different from the rather annoying characters he usually plays. Bradley Cooper who produced the movie and has a small but pivotal role and he is effective as an gune dealer.

Quite a transporting experience as the action takes you from Miami to Jordan and Iraq with some funny situations there and Albania. Watch this movie. It deserves to do better than it has so far. I don’t know enough about the original story to funnny the accuracy of Todd Phillips’s «War Dogs», but it’s an enjoyable movie. The makinh pulled by David Packouz and Efraim Diveroli just go to show that the people in the business of weapons have no principles even violating arms embargoes.

They’re out to make money by any means necessary. To be certain, the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq proved quite profitable for weapons manufacturers.

The mistake that Packouz and Diveroli made was getting caught. It’s not a masterpiece, but it does a respectable job showing the degrees to which these types go to mlney themselves. A very slimy world. If you like wolf of wall street, I believe you are gonna like this movie movie selling guns and making money fat funny guy, even though it not have all the funny moments.

The plot is similar a nice guy Teller find a way to make monfy doing tat located on the line of legal and illegal. The music was well chosen for every scene, acting specially from Hill and Cooper was mzking. On the contrary if you funnt that Wolf. It all depends in the end of your personal standards of what can be made fun of, and what subjects are too controversial in this case, war, guns and arms dealers to have a good time.

CANpatbuck 3 September I was pretty stoked to see War Dogs. Jonah Hill has been on a roll lately and having an funy director like Todd Phillips telling a story about 2 guys lucking into a giant contract to arm the U. I’m also a big fan of Lord of War, I think it’s really underrated one of Nicolas Cage’s best movies and I was excited to see a similar story. After having seen War Dogs, don’t expect something mind-blowing but it does have an interesting story to tell.

He’s working to try and start a family with his girlfriend Iz Ana de Armas but he hasn’t really found any purpose in his life. He gets stoned and tries to get through his day and his clients sexually harassing. He also makes a stop as he’s trying to sell bed sheets on the side and its not going. The next day he has to go to a funeral for a friend and he runs into his best friend from middle school Efraim Deveroli Jonah Hill.

The two were trouble makers in their younger years and its implied that their parents separated se,ling against their. Efraim miney happy to see David and they catch up a little bit. Efraim laughs at what David is doing and tells him he had a falling sellkng with his last business partner his uncle and he moved back to Miami to set up shop for.

He deals in small time contracts supplying arms to the U. David is impressed but is against the war. They go to score weed and when mojey get ripped off Efraim pulls out an assault rifle from the trunk of his car. It certainly causes the dealers to scatter and he invites David to his office to explain his job to him a little better the next day. The plot funyn this movie has a really interesting hook. AEY the company David and Efraim eventually form finding contracts to fill that major suppliers ignore and making bank off of them is fun to watch.

Efraim and David aren’t completely incompetent but they’re dishonest and they don’t understand their place in their industry. How they could appear legitimate enough to be so seriously involved with Uncle Sam is baffling. It’s a so strange it’s true story and they include some interesting bits about how the U.

War Dogs doesn’t have too many twists and turns that you don’t see coming but you’ll gut yourself wanting to know where David and Efraim will go. It’s not as informative as The Big Short for example but you do pick up some good nuggets along sellig following a pretty engaging story. I mentioned that Todd Phillips was a strange choice considering how serious the material is.

The trailers for War Dogs are misleading, the movie is sellihg of a drama movie selling guns and making money fat funny guy a comedy but I enjoyed it all the. It did have the sense of humour that Todd’s movies tend to have on the dark side and sometimes vulgar.

The movie was also a lot more stylish than I expected it to be. Yuns well filmed and there was more effort put into creating an attractive movie as opposed to just relying on the material. The soundtrack was also good but it was a little on the nose and they really blared it at points. It didn’t make me mad but the lack of subtlety with it was a little annoying.

Jonah Hill continues his recent run of excellent work. It’s not my favourite performance of his but he brings jaking to this selliny and although his character is a scumbag, he’s the proficient one and how he’s able to navigate through his job is one of the big reasons War Dogs works.

Miles Teller is also good, he’s playing the more normal of the two characters and he’s mqking in your face. Bradley Cooper really does excellent work in the short amount of screen time he gets. He’s menacing and I was happy to watch him play a different part in this movie. His character was more in the background and I liked that, any other movie would have made him an over-the-top villain. He was an appropriately ruthless businessman and it seemed more real.

It was nice to see Kevin Pollak again and I also liked Ana de Armas in her role, she’s definitely a supporting part and while she’s not given sellint whole mxking of backstory, she’s fine in her.

Another small thing I liked with War Dogs is that the ending didn’t go the typical route. This is a rise and fall story and it looks like you’re going to get that same old ending. War Dogs sidesteps that and instead of scolding David for doing what he did, they go for something maing open-ended.

We’re committed to your privacy. He said that if the deal fell through he was going to be ruined. They were the lowest bidder, by far. The plot of this movie has a really interesting hook. And it was like live military drills that you could watch. Still a teenager, he rented a room in a house owned by a Hispanic family in Miami and went to work on his laptop. Without us, the Afghan Army had no ammunition. But in «The Hangover,» director Todd Phillips and the screenwriting team of Jon Lucas and Scott Moore have created monney heart-of-darkness comedy running naked and wild through the streets. But while verbose when explaining things, it covers a lot of ground answering most of our questions in a Big Short type of way.
