Over deze film

Based on a true story, the film follows two friends in their early 20s (Hill and Teller) living in Miami during the Iraq War who exploit a little-known government initiative that allows small businesses to bid on U.S. Military contracts. Starting small, they begin raking in big money and are 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.

Surprisingly good. I expected an afternoon comedy but got a good story. I bet somebody saw that Jonah Hill was in this and labeled it a comedy. They were wrong. This strongly reminded me of the Nicolas Cage movie Lord of War.

Worth 5 stars! Entertaining enough to keep me awake into the New Year 2017. Lots of lessons about war, human nature and doing business with your best 'friend'.

If you have ever seen "Lord of War" and you liked it, you will love this movie, based on true story incredible things, uncovering a little bit more of what is happening here.
