      War Dogs rises on the strength of Jonah Hill's compelling performance to take a lightly entertaining look at troubling real-world events.

      The Med City Movie Guy R Jonah Hill works up from a "bottom feeder" to a major player in the shifty world of defense contractors in the Falcon and the Snowman-esque comedy War Dogs. A bulked-up Hill (admit it, though he has an appointment with a coronary we like him better this way) partners with an old friend (Miles Teller) in need of a career bump. The two make a nice dollar off the crumbs larger suppliers don't bother with during the peak of our involvement in Afghanistan. Then they get greedy. Lots of laughs and surprising intrigue from Hangover director Todd Phillips. Hill's confident and obnoxious character is one of his best performances to date. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/04/24 Full Review Jessica K Intense movie!! Enjoyed this one! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/31/24 Full Review Logan One of my favorite movies of all time!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/27/24 Full Review Bruno V Filme merecedor de várias estrelinhas. Filme baseado em fatos reais que entusiasma o expectador que não se alonga em detalhes irrelevantes para a dramatização. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/01/23 Full Review Dario S Can't believe this is based on a true story, wow! Certainly a very interesting movie Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/11/23 Full Review George C A good film. Enjoyed it. Wish they made more of the implications of what they did though.

      Kristen Yoonsoo Kim Complex Sure, there's voiceover, freeze frames, and morally reprehensible characters, but it reads more like a parody film than an inspired one. Feb 23, 2017 Full Review Nigel Andrews Financial Times By the end we have warmed -- almost -- to the innocent villainy of two con folk serving a greater maladroit maleficence. Rated: 4/5 Dec 27, 2016 Full Review Kevin Maher Times (UK) Utterly specious.
