The performances are solid across the board. Some scenes are humorous, while other plot developments are shocking.

Phillips does a nice job structuring the comedy around wild scenarios at a break-neck speed.

Teller and Hill are playing thinly veiled Ray Liotta and Joe Pesci substitutes, albeit without the violent tendencies, but War Dogs isn't just a bloodless Goodfellas, it's also a soulless imitation. Read more
