War Dogs is a 2016 biographical crime comedy-drama directed by Todd Phillips and starring Jonah Hill and Miles Teller. The movie is loosely based on real events and follows the story of two college friends who become international arms dealers. The film is set in the early 2000s and revolves around the lives of David Packouz (Miles Teller) and Efraim Diveroli (Jonah Hill). David is a struggling massage therapist living in Miami Beach, while Efraim is a childhood friend of David's who runs his own arms dealing business.

After reuniting at a funeral, Efraim offers David a job selling weapons to the U.S. government. Despite initial hesitation, David agrees to partner up with Efraim in what turns out to be a lucrative and dangerous business venture.

As their business grows, the two friends find themselves dealing with shady individuals and corrupt government officials. In an effort to win a $300 million dollar contract to supply weapons to the Afghan military, they become involved in deals with dangerous people and begin bending the rules in order to get what they want.

The movie explores the ethics of the arms trade and the consequences of greed and ambition. While David is initially motivated by the need to provide for his girlfriend and future child, he soon becomes addicted to the money and power that comes with handling dangerous weapons.

Jonah Hill delivers a standout performance as Efraim, portraying him as a charismatic and manipulative individual who is willing to do whatever it takes to make a profit. Miles Teller's performance as David is equally impressive, as he takes on the role of the more morally conflicted half of the duo.

Steve Lantz plays the role of Henry Girard, a notorious arms dealer who becomes involved in the duo's business. His portrayal of Girard is one of the film's highlights, adding an extra layer of tension to an already suspenseful plot.

The film's cinematography is also notable, as it captures the lavish lifestyle and dangerous situations that David and Efraim encounter on their journey. The use of music, particularly classic rock tracks, adds to the film's overall style and tone.

Overall, War Dogs is an entertaining and thought-provoking film that explores the darker side of ambition and greed. The performances of Jonah Hill and Miles Teller, as well as the film's stylish direction and cinematography, make it an enjoyable viewing experience.

War Dogs is a 2016 comedy with a runtime of 1 hour and 54 minutes. It has received moderate reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 7.1 and a MetaScore of 57.
