“War Dogs” (***1/2 out of four) was a bullseye comedy based on the true story of two young guys (Miles Teller and Jonah Hill) who became billionaire war profiteers by becoming involved in weapons deals with the Pentagon and Afghanistan and Albania. Razor-sharp and multilayered script is enhanced by the terrific performances of both Hill and Teller who also make a great team and have hilarious camaraderie together. Director Todd Phillips does an impressive job of maintaining a bouncy, light-hearted tone of a very serious story in what is easily his best movie since “The Hangover.”
