War Dogs

Based on a true story, the film is about two friends in their early 20s (Jonah Hill and Miles Teller), living in Miami Beach during the Iraq War, who exploit a rarefied government initiative which permits minor businesses to bid on U.S. Army deals.  Soon enough, they start to fetch in big money and live the posh life.  Just when they go over their heads, they strike a 300 million dollar deal to arm the Afghan Military—a pact that brings them face to face with some of the rather shady people in the business, not the least of which turns out to be the Government. The film also stars Ana de Armas, four-time Oscar nominee Bradley Cooper and more. War Dogs is due for the U.S. release on August 19, 2016.
