War Dogs Review: 5 Ups & 4 Downs

Ups...5. Miles Teller & Jonah Hill's Excellent Chemistry

There's probably nothing in this movie more beyond reproach than the terrific chemistry between Miles Teller and Jonah Hill.

While the movie basically belongs to Hill and his larger-than-life, money-grubbing sociopath, the two are an extremely entertaining bromantic pair, taking their usual shtick and hurling it headlong into a far more dangerous, epic scenario.

It's undeniably effective even when the film stumbles, and for the most part manages to carry it through its rougher areas. Consider that it was originally meant to star Jesse Eisenberg and Shia LaBeouf and it's easy to see how different the final product could've been.
