Director: Todd Phillips Release Date: August 19, 2016 I first watched this movie in the summer with my friend, and I honestly loved it. War Dogs is based on a real story (I don’t know how accurate the film is). I feel like many movies have scenes that are super unnecessary. However, this movie flows and each scene needs to be seen by audiences. From David and Efraim’s heated arguments to family problems, this movie makes me sit on the edge of my seat. I could consider this one of my comfort movies just because the pace isn’t difficult to keep up with and it’s not super action packed (it’s a good medium). I like how Phillips made the idea of greed get bigger and bigger throughout the movie by using scenes where both characters are living the high life (metaphorically and literally) before it all comes crashing down. One of my favorite parts of War Dogs is the one liners; they are the perfect chuckle during a serious movie. For example, one of my favorite lines is “God bless Dick Cheney’s America.” I read something online that it was a shame this movie did not come out during the Bush administration. If it did, I think it would make it 10x funnier.
