Two stars. Rated R. 114 minutes. Efraim Diveroli, the ungainly, socially awkward miscreant at the center of “War Dogs,” surrounds himself with paraphernalia from the movie “Scarface.” A still of Tony Montana and his “little friend” hangs on the wall of Efraim’s Miami office, a cut-rate military contractor called AEY; when Efraim gives his partner and best friend, David Packouz (Miles Teller), a sentimental gift, it’s a gold-plated hand grenade, inscribed with a quote from the film: The World Is Yours. The poster for “War Dogs” is even reminiscent of the one for “Scarface,” which offers the first clue to why the new movie doesn’t work.

Boy Kills World Producer Praises Jon Benjamin's Voiceover and Sam Raimi
Movieweb, Friday - 04/26/2024 - 05:08 PM
Boy Kills World hits theaters today, April 26, and audiences are in for a treat. It's a frequently surprising and jolting rush of action and comedy with inventive visuals and unexpected twists, grounded by a silent but extremely emotive and physical performance from Bill Skarsgrd. He's like Buster Keaton on steroids here as Boy, a beefy fighter who has trained for vengeance ever since the totalitarian rulers of his dystopic city murdered his family and made him deaf and mute.
