Our take on War Dogs

Todd Phillips's 2016 crime comedy-drama draws on the true story of David Packouz and Efraim Diveroli, two young men who improbably landed a $300 million Pentagon contract to arm America's allies in Afghanistan. Following their rise from small-time hustlers to international arms dealers, the film mines dark comedy from real-world war profiteering while charting how ambition curdles into recklessness. It balances buddy-story energy against a queasier look at greed and consequence. It's a good fit for viewers who enjoy fast-talking, fact-based tales of ordinary men gaming a broken system, in the vein of stranger-than-fiction crime stories. Brisk, cynical and darkly funny, it keeps a wary eye on its antiheroes.
