8 instead of 7; because i just knew that was based on a true story!

It was really amusing, funny only in the first hour, but also dramatic which i did not expect! The plot was good, and the cinematography was also good.
As Todd Phillips is the one who made The Hangover, u can see his potential in making a movie like this.

For me as an Arabian, the act in Iraq & Jordan was funny if it was meant to be sarcastic, but if they meant in the first place to be bullying the culture, then it's a bit offending, but i don't think this was the case.

About the acting, I don't know what's my problem with him, but i just don't like Miles Teller's acting! well he was okay in this one, but still i was not convinced, and his fight scenes with Ana de Armas was making me wanna laugh because it was just bad acting, especially from her, i don't like her, maybe i don't even consider her as an actress.
Anyway, Miles was really great in Whiplash. Maybe it was the only movie he really acted properly in it.

For Bradley Cooper, cool as always my friend, he just steals the charisma in only few scenes like he always does in all movies.

And i saved the best for last, JONAH HILL! I love him so much, he is so flexible actor, can do literally anything! In TWOWS & Moneyball & now this, he was so great and made an impact on his character.

Finally, I guess the movie and this story send a deep message, about greed and trust & how are they connected, we have just to accept what we have.

**War is like a business zone, anyone can start-up a business.**

Ten years ago a similar film was made with Nicolas Cage in the lead called 'Lord of War'. This was based on the two youngsters who got into arm dealing, but many events were fictionalised. War is a business and these two made lots of profit out of it. So it all begins when financially struggling David clueless about raising his unborn child. At a right time he meets his old friend Efraim and decides to partner with him to supply arms to the US army abroad in a small scale. But when they saw a big opportunity, they decided to give it a try. From the obstacles, they go the extra mile to achieve it. But not knowing how serious the consequences are, finally they step into a dangerous turf and from there, what follows is revealed in the remaining parts.

This is really amazing film. Obviously a slow start, but like after 10-15 minutes later it gets better and better. For these actors, this is something big and they have done it excellently. Jonah Hill was simply unbelievable. Kind of good, as well as negative, totally unpredictable character. Mile Teller was superb, he narrated the story with the opening scene, gun pointed at him, the flashback begins. While the story keeps developing, it only gets crazy and crazier. Nearly two long was never been an issue, because of the good pace, as well as for the off beast storyline.

Lately I have been seeing lots of Ana de Armas, quite a coincident to watch some many films of someone in a short time. Anyway, her role in this was small, but she was decent. From the director of 'Hangover' trilogy, I think one of his best films it is. If you like the American Dream themes like 'Pain & Gain' and 'Wolf of Wall Street' about making dollars in a fast way risking everything, you would enjoy it as well. Like those two, it was also a comedy, despite inspired by the real. One of the film posters imitates the 'Scareface', but there's a strong reason for that, so you should watch it. Definitely worth a watch, so I suggest it!
