Just saw this movie over the weekend. I thought it was solid..7/10. The only thing that really bothered me was the ending....And I feel like they could've been more detailed. The true story is really intriguing also.

Anybody else seen this? What you think?

    I'm not sure how accurate it is but i thought it was thouroughly entertaining with a great performance by Jonah Hill.

    That laugh of his had me rolling.

    Crazy story.

    This is one of the cases where the plot was based on a true story, but im sure almost the whole thing was rewritten. I didnt see the movie yet, but I i remember years ago the kids who did this where arrested in South Florida. This they got a contract from the government for a few hundred mill and i think they got caught because, they supplied ? cheap supplies, like : expired amunition, trucks that were ? boxes and didnt work ect.

    Yeah, that laugh was funny.. he killed that role. Crazy how nobody in the government was charged with anything considering they knew what was going on, but wanted to look the other way..

    The plot twist was too obvious saw it coming a mile away.

    Albania looks like the most depressing place on erf.

    Reminded me alot of Pain & Gain

    Just watched it on kodi I thoroughly enjoyed it. The trailers made it look like an unfunny comedy though

    Thought the prison sentences would be more though so I was surprised.
