War Dogs ranked Top 10 movie on Netflix US
“War Dogs” is not just an ordinary American comedy-drama based on true events; in recent weeks, it has been accumulating new views and making its way into the US Top 10 on Netflix.
Flix Patrol reported that the title is one of the strongest trends in the United States, especially among users who enjoy war comedy dramas, and it has managed to surpass multiple well-known productions.
The movie is inspired by a Rolling Stone article titled “Arms and the Dudes” written by Guy Lawson, which tells the true story of two young men who became arms contractors for the United States government.
The story follows two young entrepreneurs, David Packouz (played by Miles Teller) and Efraim Diveroli (played by Jonah Hill), who get involved in the lucrative business of selling arms to the United States government.
Taking advantage of a Pentagon initiative that allows small businesses to compete for defense contracts, these friends embark on a dangerous yet profitable adventure and throughout the film, they face ethical and legal challenges.
