That Movie Gay #2016


A good week of films this week with The Shallows and now WAR DOGS screening at a cinemaplex near you.



War Dogs is a true story with a lot of made up bits, including the drive in Iraq. Based on the true story of Miami boys Efraim Diveroli and David Packouz. The stats at the start of the film astounded me, the costs and the profits of war terrified me more than terrorism itself.

Admittedly a film using the tag "by the director of the Hangover" is not a huge selling point for me with the way that series wrapped up but that said this is a true story about two young blokes with a bit of bad language thrown in for good measure.

Sure Jonah Hill looks frightful with his spray tans and his rather large frame and Miles Teller just goes from strength to strength. He is truly wonderful.

This film is interesting, insightful and funny all at once and a big departure from my previous experience with the fantastic Shallows and even to an extent the brilliant Bad Moms recently.

It's honestly been a good few weeks at the movies and I am marking high again today, this gets a solid 3.5 Stars, good storytelling, fascinating topic and man Miles Teller if you were giving me a massage, shit!
