War Dogs [DVD]

The Wolf of Wall Street's Jonah Hill and Whiplash's Miles Teller star in this dramedy based on a true story that follows two twentysomething Miami stoners who exploit a little-known government initiative during the Iraq War that allows small businesses to bid on U.S. Military contracts. Starting small, they begin raking in big money and are soon living the high life. But the pair gets in over their heads when they land a $300 million deal to arm the Afghan Military -- a deal that puts them in business with some very shady people, not the least of which turns out to be the U.S. Government. Comedy powerhouse Todd Phillips (The Hangover films) writes, directs and produces (with Bradley Cooper) this incredible true story based on a controversial Rolling Stone article. ]]>
