Billed As: Jonah Hill's latest reminder that he's actually a hell of an actor. Also, the latest film to be based on an award-winning Rolling Stone article. Double points!

Hype: Previously known as Arms And The Dudes, War Dogs might have a decidedly iffy director in The Hangover€™s Todd Phillips, but it€™s also got a brilliant story and two hot leads.

Based on an exceptional - and unbelievable - article from Rolling Stone, the film follows too novice arms dealers (yep, that€™s a thing) who score a major government arms deal and then wind up in trouble abroad and at home. If you can hunt out the article, read it; it€™s as baffling as it is entertaining, and if they get it even half right on screen, we€™re in for a treat.

There€™s some concern that the release date was shifted, but at least it didn€™t go ahead with the originally cast leads of Jesse Eisenberg and Shia LaBeouf.
