The ultimate conflict concerns the "Afghan Deal," which involves a shady gun-runner (Bradley Cooper) and boxes and boxes of AK-47 ammunition at an Albanian warehouse. The film ticks along at a good clip for its 114-minute running time. They are met by disbelieving soldiers and pose, middle fingers extended, for a victory picture.
Customs seizes the weapons there, forcing the pair to travel to Amman, bribe local officials, reclaim the weapons, and drive them through the "Triangle of Death" to Baghdad. When a giant load of Berettas is tied up under an Italian embargo, they have them shipped to Jordan. War Dogs does not dig heavily into how Diveroli and Packouz are able to fulfill orders, but it does highlight several key moments for AEY. After one successful deal, the guys get paid in stacks of hundreds reclaimed from Saddam Hussein. Phillips' film casually depicts the ridiculous, unrestrained spending at the height of the Iraq War. After some initial hiccups, AEY affords each man a Porsche and ritzy apartment, but the allure of a difficult $300-million deal is too much to pass up. A mutual acquaintance warns Packouz to keep an eye on Diveroli, who may have screwed a family member out of $70,000. calls from generals in the field about incoming weapons. Packouz lies to his pregnant girlfriend Iz (Ana de Armas) about the job, and is soon taking 3 a.m. Diveroli scoops up the crumbs as a "war dog," but those crumbs are often worth millions. Packouz is a massage therapist in Miami, and he jumps at the chance to join Diveroli at AEY after his friend explains picking up small arms contracts has netted him $200,000 in the last two months. He recruits his floundering high-school buddy, David Packouz (Miles Teller), and together the two begin funneling questionably legal arms into Baghdad.īased on a Rolling Stone article and its author's subsequent book, War Dogs is set during the height of the second Iraq War. A very large Jonah Hill gives a compelling performance as Efraim Diveroli, the brash, tan and cash-flushed founder of AEY Inc., which he uses to scoop up smaller contracts with the government that the big arms dealers usually bypass. Phillips makes a smooth transition from frat-boy comedy to drama, though War Dogs still finds humor in a few hyperbolic sequences. Truth is often stranger than fiction, and the guys manage to land a $300-million deal with the Pentagon in a shocking example of uninhibited wartime spending.
