War Dogs

Stop me if you have heard this one before.​

​

Two twenty-something guys are international arms dealers and sell weapons to the US government. They do well at it, until they don't.

​

Ok, that is the plot of the movie "War Dogs", but what really happened would be a movie more suited to a complex socio-political plot in a Steven Soderbergh movie. 

​

We'll talk about true story behind this movie based on a true story. But, what was left out is more entertaining.
