War Dogs

Two young American guys turn international arms dealers and their ambitions to get paid, take them to the top and down.  This thriller/comedy/true story is interesting to be sure.  However, it fails to measure up in its execution ultimately.  It's a shame because a decade prior, there was its arguably better counterpart of a film  in Nicholas Cage's Lord Of War (also about arms dealers and with the same general story arc).  The best thing about War Dogs is frankly Jonah Hill's performance.  It's as simple as that, especially after great performances by him like in The Wolf Of Wallstreet.
