War Dogs

War Dogs (2016) charts the improbable ascent of David Packouz and Efraim Diveroli, who secure a $300 million Pentagon contract to supply arms to Afghan allies, transforming their Miami ambitions into a maelstrom of commerce and corruption. Director Todd Phillips navigates their odyssey with a brash, irreverent eye, skewering the absurdities of the American dream and the vagaries of unchecked greed. The film's sharp wit and blistering satire are tempered by moments of unsettling realism, painting a portrait of ambition that knows no bounds and the moral compromises it entails.
