War Dogs
— Two fairly decent actors don’t necessarily make a decent film. “War Dogs” never settles into a groove and, by the end, you’ve seen a buddy film with buddies who really aren’t any fun, a film about the international arms market that’s low on excitement, and a glimpse into flawed government spending practices that requires detaching yourself from the film to feel any outrage. This film desperately needs a focus and is lucky it came out when there’s not much box office competition.

[2016. 106 min. Directed by Dexter Fletcher. Starring Taron Egerton, Hugh Jackman, Tom Costello, Joe Hartley, and Keith Allen.]
