Billed As: A comedy drama based on a superlative Rolling Stone article, starring Miles Teller and Jonah Hill as have-a-go arms dealers in a situation well over their heads.

Hype: Previously known as the possibly more cool sounding Arms And The Dudes, War Dogs is a strange prospect, since it's directed by Todd Phillips, but it's based on such a good story and cast so well that the oddity gets a pass.

It's the kind of unbelievable yarn you'd scarcely believe, as the fledgling dealers score a US government contract and end up chased on all sides. I can't overstate just how brilliant the original article is, and in Hill and Teller, they've got two of the hottest young actors in Hollywood.

Phillips needs a win after the deliriously bad Project X and The Hangover III, so let's hope this is the mender his career requires.
