军火贩

在刷阿塞拜疆与亚美尼亚的战争报道时，我知道了这部影片的存在。看了下情节，顿时好斗的神经被撩拨得难以自制，马上动手找到了片源。

在影片最猛的桥段里，两个坏家伙带着一卡车意大利贝雷塔手枪，穿越死亡三角区来到巴格达绿区，先前还在臭骂他们不靠谱的美军指挥官立刻换了副嘴脸。这情节颇有网络爽文的特质。

美军仓库里一眼看不到头的美元现钞；东欧某国兵工厂里堆积得山一样高的武器弹药；还有子弹被从木头箱子里一把一把拿出来，放进透明塑料袋里称份量，就好像我们在零食店里称瓜子一样。

老天，这些场景太击中直男们的爽点了！

影片最后，两个坏家伙被联邦调查局抓起来调查，一场军火带来的“春梦”也就此结束。

角色方面，男二号那个胖子比较出彩，奸诈的笑声极有特点；那个中间商也很有意大利黑帮的腔调。

男一号嘛………长得像扎克伯格，被调查后没有供出中间商，中间商在影片最后给了他一箱子美元。

不知道他是真的老实，还是心机更深。

PS：总体上，这部片子的叙事方式有很明显的好莱坞特质，基本上是按照三幕剧的结构安排故事展开的。

这种“套路片”看多了容易腻，除非像这部影片那样在题材上有点新意。

我的评分：7.8

影评：

年轻人大柱子靠给人按摩挣钱，虽然很辛苦，却没有挣到什么钱。他去经商卖床单，最后也卖不出去，都堆在家里。一天碰到他一个胖子同学，一起开始卖军火，从小做大，越做越大，最后跟政府做生意。

美军想买一亿发AK47的子弹，可是他们公司根本吃不下这个大单子，就在一筹莫展之际，在拉斯维加赌桌上正好遇到了一个大佬，给他们牵线，他们成功做成这笔生意。

但是胖子同学并不甘心利润7/3开，虽然这都是他与大柱子之前商议好的，更不甘心大佬从中挣大钱。他想甩开大佬，直接交易，想独吞这个这笔交易利润。然后他们被政府给抓了，而大柱子没有说出这次交易的任何细节，他被软禁7个月出来之后，大佬找到他，给了他400万美金，这正是之前胖子承若7/3开他应得的30%的钱。

他明白了，原来这一切都是政府搞的，政府想低价买子弹，但是出面不合规，所以把他们的公司推到了前台，有人暗中安排帮助，完成这笔交易。世界上哪有那么好的事儿，白白让你挣大钱。我想大柱子早就明白这个里面的不寻常，所以他能走到最后，不像他的胖子同学，钱没有了，还被判了四年徒刑。

胖子狡猾，会演戏，为了钱可能出卖一切。可惜太小气，不是干大事的料。剧中说那失踪的司机的叔叔是国防部的（胖子由此得知子弹真实价钱）。大军火商通过他知道有 阿尔巴尼亚 有子弹，于是找了男主和胖子。结果上当了，子弹是中国的，（冷战时，阿尔及利亚是中国在欧洲唯一的盟友，中国援助各种东西给这个国家。当然这是个白眼狼），大军火商被骗，而且司机还嘴大，出卖商业机密，于是杀死了司机。

最后大军火商为了感谢男主没有向fbi出卖他，给了一笔钱。可是男主不说，胖子也会说的。大军火商有这么好，奇怪。

胖子和男主在电梯说的话挺感动的。男主识破他的诡计。因为他前面就是这么骗这个骗那的。满嘴的谎言

胖子不愿给十万包装费，心太黑，大卫答应了工头，为什么回国后又忘了付钱呢？他又不是不想给。如果付钱了，这件事就不会暴发。如果不是大卫要分成刺激了胖子，应该这段友谊还可以持续一段时间。所以说，不要与朋友有利益冲突，在金钱面前，什么感情亲情友情都没用！军火商心太黑，沾上了应该没有那么容易脱身吧！

Two masked men pull David Packouz (Miles Teller) out of a trunk and start beating him. One of the men holds a gun to David's face. We hear David's voice saying what kind of gun it is, and he adds that he is an international arms dealer.

We see clips of American soldiers posing with the gear and weapons. David says that while some people see a hero serving his country, he sees thousands of dollars worth of materials. According to David, that's what war is really all about: money. Anyone who says otherwise is in on it and is supposed to keep quiet.

The scene then switches to the year 2005 in Miami, Florida. David is a massage therapist making $75 an hour, living with his girlfriend Iz (Ana De Armas). On the side, David tries to sell bedsheets to a retirement home, but he learns that "no one gives a shit about old people".

At a funeral, David reunites with an old friend named Efraim Diveroli (Jonah Hill). They hang out after and try to score some weed from neighborhood drug dealers. Efraim gives them $300 for weed, but they pocket the money and ignore Efraim, showing off a gun to make him leave. Efraim walks to his car and pulls out a bigger gun from his trunk, which he starts firing off in the air to scare the dealers away.

David and Efraim discuss Efraim's new line of business - gunrunning. He explains to David how to exploit the war on terrorism for profit. David doesn't want to get involved at first, but when he learns Iz is pregnant, he figures he needs to make more money than he does now. He lies to her and tells her that he and Efraim are selling bedsheets to the U.S. army, which she is okay with.

After learning the ins and outs of arms dealing and checking through government contracts, David and Efraim start up their own business, AEY Inc, after getting funding from Ralph Slutzky (Kevin Pollak). Soon, the guys earn themselves a contract with the United States Department of Defense to deal weapons. However, they hit a snag when they have Berettas shipped to Jordan, unaware of Italian-made guns not being permitted to be shipped.

Efraim interrupts David during a dinner party with Iz and her friends. They have a conversation outside, but Iz overhears their business and learns the truth about what David is doing, leaving her pissed.

David and Efraim travel to Jordan and meet with smugglers that will help them retrieve the guns. They meet a man named Marlboro (Shaun Toub), who drives the guys to their destination. They stop to get gas in Fallujah, where the guys wake up and don't see Marlboro. Efraim finds a dead body inside the station, and sees that Marlboro is siphoning gas. David gets a call from Iz, who appears to forgive David for lying to her, even though the lying does bother her. Moments later, the guys see vans approaching, with men firing guns at them. David and Efraim try to get out of there, despite having an empty tank. Marlboro runs after them and hops onto the truck, filling up the tank as they drive. The guys are saved when a U.S. chopper descends, forcing the mercenaries to stop shooting.

The guys meet with Captain Santos (Patrick St. Esprit) to deliver the guns. He commends them for driving through the Triangle of Death, and the guys receive their payment.

Pretty soon, the guys are making more money and earning more contracts. They start hiring people to work for AEY, and they start doing business with a man named Henry Girard (Bradley Cooper), who is apparently a legend with closing big deals with the army. David and Iz also welcome a baby girl named Ella. However, Efraim becomes increasingly megalomaniacal, even firing one man on the spot just for correcting him on something.

David and Efraim then score "The Afghan Deal", which would allow them to supply the Afghan army with a number of weapons and ammunition. The contract came from China, which is a problem because the U.S. army has an embargo on the Chinese military industry, so Chinese ammunition is banned. Efraim has the ammo and weapons repackaged and shipped off anyway.

The guys have a falling out with their business when David and Efraim sort out their share of the payment. When David calls Efraim out on screwing people over, Efraim has the two men from the opening of the movie kidnap David and assault him. David breaks off his partnership with Efraim, especially after Efraim refuses to pay David and Ralph back for thousands of money owed to both of them. David decides to just go back to being a massage therapist.

David gets a call from a reporter regarding an investigation into the Afghan Deal. He knows he's in trouble. He heads down an elevator and meets Efraim in there. Efraim tries to make it look like he's sorry and that he considers David a friend, but David sees through the facade, which Efraim admits. David punches Efraim in the face. When they get downstairs, they are greeted by a whole team of FBI agents, and the two are arrested.

As the film comes to and end, David's voice-over says that Ralph was in on it with the FBI, but he gets apprehended as well. What did them in, however, was the packaging guy that Efraim never paid, so he ratted them out. Both men were charged with conspiracy and fraud. Efraim was sentenced to four years in prison, while David served seven months house arrest, allowing him to stay with Iz and Ella.

The last scene has David meeting with Henry. He starts asking a bunch of questions regarding their deals, until Henry pulls out a case full of money, which he offers to David on the promise of "no more questions."
