I watched the movie and still can't believe it's based on a true story! How these two guys with no background or expertise managed to become big time, international arms dealers is beyond comprehension. Now I've seen Jonah Hill in a number of vehicles but never this huge, that was rather shocking. This was my first look at Miles Teller, he had a nice All-American look, but both guys looked so young to pull off what they were doing that it defied belief. The biggest disconnect occurred late in the film when it was stated that it would take fifty men eight weeks to repack a hundred million rounds of Chinese ammunition to sell back to the United States government. But then Efraim (Hill) didn't pay the box guy the paltry hundred grand that he asked for! That right there demonstrated what a creep Efraim was, when he stood to rake in millions on the contract. Besides the fact he was going to screw his partner. And then he only got a four year prison sentence while Dave Packouz got merely a seven month house arrest! Just goes to show, if you want to screw the government and pretty much get away with it, do it in as big a way as possible.
