War Dogs

Crazy story, but thought the movie was pretty meh. Jonah hill had me cracking up tho

Lord of War meets Wolf of Wall Street meets Blow.

This is kinda why I haven't seen it. I like Lord of War a lot and felt no need for another arms dealer movie. Wolf of Wall Street was a bore for me.

But, the best part was Ana De Armas

If you liked her in War Dogs you should catch her in Knock Knock and Hands of Stone.

If you like her, definitely suffer through Keanu in Knock Knock. She'll make it worth your while.

Just caught this on HBO. Loved it. Thought everyone played their part well.

What a soundtrack too.

I see the comparisons to Lord of War. Not so much Wolf of Wall Street. The movie stands up by itself IMO. Fun watch.

I had no idea that stuff (arms business) was going on. I thought the movie, based on the director, would be another over-the-top comedy similar to the Hangover series. In reality some of the stuff was downplayed according to the real life characters. The Jonah Hill character is a sociopath.

I thought it was pretty lame when I saw it in theaters. Haven’t rewatched but remembered thinking that they basically just drew inside the lines of what other better film makers made about this topic and this type of vibe. Nothing real unique to say and no real standout performances


ETA didn’t realize this was a bump and I gave my thoughts on it originally

Didn't like it at all. Hard to get into the movie when none of the characters are likeable. Jonah Hill was AWFUL.

I stand by it although usually I enjoy films that don’t really give you a good guy to root for, so maybe my taste have changed a bit and I should rewatch.
