Story : Two friends in their early 20s (Hill and Teller) living in Miami Beach during the Iraq War exploit a little-known government initiative that allows small businesses to bid on U.S. Military contracts. Starting small, they begin raking in big money and are living the high life. But the pair gets in over their heads when they land a 300 million dollar deal to arm the Afghan Military - a deal that puts them in business with some very shady people, not the least of which turns out to be the U.S. Government. Based on true events.

A quick lookup of this movie might label it to be a comedy. However, it is anything but that. If there is any humour in this, it is a brand of dark humour that is played upon with a light touch, thanks to the director's and screenwriters' vision. And of course, Teller and Hill, who both excel in their roles.
Teller's Packouz is the unlikely arms dealer who used to working a massage parlour in Miami. Hill is the unrepentant smooth-talker, unabashed risk-taker and high-strung counterfoil to Packouz. You will definitely see shades of the character that he played in ??Wolf? ?Of Wall Street, where he did a commendable job opposite Leo's character.
