Action Comedy Trailer: War Dogs

Here comes a new action comedy in ‘War Dogs’, perhaps in vein of Nicolas Cage’s ‘Lord of War’?  Directed by Todd Phillips (The Hangover), War Dogs stars Teller and Jonah Hill as two 20 something bums who score a $30 million contract from the U.S. government to arm the Afghan military.

The trailer for the film has been released, check it out.

War Dogs opens August 19.

Based on a true story, “War Dogs” follows two friends in their early 20s (Hill and Teller) living in Miami Beach during the Iraq War who 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.
