军火贩

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。

豆瓣简介写本片来自guy lawson在滚石杂志发表的文章，事实上是那篇文章来自于本片，是对本片背后故事的总结。The Stoner Arms Dealers: How Two American Kids Became Big-Time Weapons Traders-Read the incredible true story behind the movie 'War Dogs'。看得人可能没有看到小字。 2007年一个美国武器交易商向州政府抱怨AEY公司一直在把中国产的AK子弹卖给伊拉克军。引起FBI对AEY公司的突袭，FBI通过在AEY公司电脑硬盘上留存的数据和Email发现了如何重新打包中国子弹的计划，这一天恰巧是伊普拉新向大卫提供安置协议的一天。这个安置协议是兄弟反目的结果，伊普拉新和大卫只有口头协议，而随着AEY积累的财富越来越多，大卫才发现自己所得到的分成也越来越多，他曾经找伊普拉新要过，伊普拉新说，我不会给你那么多。所以他想和伊普拉新签一个真正的协议。但协议没签成，事实上大卫自己在这件事根本没有谈判的资本，他甚至害怕伊普拉新会为了这么多钱干脆干掉他，所以他总是随身带着一把.375手枪。 时间回到2005年，大卫是个爱好音乐的嬉皮士，他就喜欢抽大麻和搞音乐，之前父母把他送到了以色列的戒毒学校，结果那里反而最多毒品，于是乎他爽了好久。回来上了两年大学就不去了，开始梦想自己可以成为一个摇滚明星，并且出了一张专辑叫“永恒瞬间”，但无人问津。 至于伊普拉新，16岁就开始和叔叔一起在洛杉矶卖军火，而当他成立AEY的时候，才18岁。他小时候就被称为大嘴巴，口无遮拦，他随着叔叔跑遍全美国卖枪，他喜欢枪，喜欢开枪也喜欢军火业。AEY公司刚成立的时候只有一台笔记本电脑一间租来的破公寓和一个电话。他就用这些和全世界军火商和战争狂做生意，而他自己实际上还只是孩子。而且，他也不是胖子。 当伊普拉新带着卖床垫的大卫见世面的时候，老是在他面前炫富，带他喝酒和泡妞，伊普拉新有太多工作要做，他一个人完不成，而大卫恰恰有网络销售经验，他之前是在网上卖床垫的，每次能赚个2000块，但他显然不满足于此。于是2个人一拍即合。2005年当他刚加入公司的时候，头衔是客户主任——和他卖床垫的职位一模一样。 公司刚开始的时候，他们专干把钻模糊不清的政府空子的事，比如头盔防弹衣，他们就会用质量次的中国和韩国生产的，可以把成本压低。国防部的采购人都是军人出身，他们几乎没有商业和做买卖的经验，基本上就凭他们的口舌就可以征服。伊普拉新的路数是，学着军人的交谈方式，长官长官的叫，他还会学上级将官说话，对方很难分清他是不是真的，等到他要失去掌控力的时候，他就立刻变哭腔请求。 一个19岁没上过大学的小屁孩和一个23岁上过2年大学的嬉皮士组建的公司何以如此迅速的获得订单呢？答案是互联网。fbo.gov是个新成立的网站，对于大多数传统物资供应商，比如毛毯、汽油、绳索等。他们根本大多数人都不会用政府给的电子表格，甚至有些还不会用互联网。而这两个年轻人从一开始就是互联网销售人员，轻车熟路。 AEY为何能赢得阿富汗订单，实际上有3个原因。 1.小布什提出的鼓励扶持中小供应商计划。也就是AEY这种 2.国防部特别偏爱专为某场战争生产的武器，比如越战、冷战。 3.合同里对子弹的要求是“不计成色”。因为是装备伊拉克本地军队的，美军根本不在乎质量。 一些趣事 1. 伊普拉新一直喜欢的电影不是电影里的海报《疤面煞星》而是大家都认为本片致敬的《战争之王》。 2. 嬉皮士大卫后来有钱了，公司还为他发行了一张专辑 3. 大卫后来在20011年发明了beatbuddy电子乐机，有吉他和鼓点。后来的电子乐手都会用到这个东西。2015年还入选了nnam年度最佳音乐产品。 4.2012年大卫在佛罗里达被乔装成妓女的副警长逮捕，2013年获判嫖娼。 5.为何美国要对中国武器禁运。官方说法是因为……实际原因是中国北方工业的低廉武器淹没美国军火市场，美国军火商是美国政府最大金主之一。 6.伊普拉新一直投票给共和党，因为共和党更会发动战争 7.大人物thomet是德国人，一个真正的战争之王。因偷运武器出津巴布韦被美国记入重点关注名单 8.2016年大卫起诉华纳兄弟和本片导演希望禁放本片而因普拉新也起诉本片，理由是本片抄袭了他的自传《Once a gun runner》要求版权。 9.等待审讯期间，伊普拉新仍然忘不了他热爱的军火事业，靠卖弹夹赚钱。实际上并不违法，因为弹夹没有子弹时就不算军火。但架不住美国枪支管理局特工的诱惑，接过了他递来的格洛克17手枪，于是他又被捕了。被捕的时候他说了一句话Once a gun runner, always a gun runner.一入军门深似海。 本片把如此众多的好故事忽略单单描写了一个幼稚的友情故事，实在让我作呕。那个形如空气的丧脸女友和这个整天就会唠叨的大卫，因为分赃不均就嘴大的四处乱说。事实上这两个当时的小青年用一己幼稚的思想和澎湃的野心真的打入了世界主流军火界，在事件之后也没有任何一个相关政府官员受审，这些人实际上很早就知道子弹来自于中国。在阿富汗订单达成后，AEY和普京政府也搭上了线，成为俄罗斯武器主要销售商之一。战争和国际形势牵扯无数人命的事件却其实和批发盗版dvd并无二致，这种巨大的讽刺却没有放到电影之中，真是极大的浪费了这么好的现实题材。无论从任何角度，本片都没有资格称自己“根据真实事件改编”。

附上滚石杂志的文章

军火贩结尾个人感觉是亨利给钱要培养主角做一个老实安稳的中间商（在他和美国政府中间的那种）。中米国之间有军火禁令，直接交易肯定不行，但是可以钻空子！相信任何一个军火商处理这批子弹都是这个方法。亨利明显是很有实力的大佬，所以他们俩这个小公司在阿尔巴尼亚运货的时候一点外界阻力都没有。而且这么一大单，在美国其他竞争公司也一点都没有找麻烦，虽说他们是很便宜，但是一切在我看来是顺利的不行，个人感觉亨利应该是打理好了一切，aey只不过就是个中转站。相当于亨利不可以和米国交易，米国不可以买天朝和亨利的东西，但是可以买aey的，那就叫亨利买天朝的，然后aey来买亨利的，米国在买aey的。结果是一样的。亨利也许是黑名单，但是看到最后我在想他根本就不想自己参与进来。不管怎么说到最后在军火问题上，主角和胖子付了法律责任，他才是最后的赢家。

胖子和男主通话已经有了把亨利踢出去的想法，但是男主比较安分，没有同意。胖子一定联系过男主司机，男主司机可能相通过国防部亲戚配合胖子踢走亨利然后分钱之类的，导致亨利暴走。所以胖子自私贪婪而且胆子大。不给工人工资被举报，自己作死！

aey2022年可以继续竞标。但是前科的公司正常情况基本办不下去了。但是男主的人设比较好控制（安分，胆小和守信）。给他一笔钱安抚住以后他挂一个空壳公司可以继续做亨利和米国政府的中间人。

最后说是没供出亨利，和杀死司机的封口费我感觉不存在，亨利想让男主死，在阿尔巴尼亚他就死了。说他杀死一个司机，1没证据，2就他不承认还能这么着，他不至于亲自开枪吧！说他没有在米国政府面前供出他的名字，这是最关键的一点，我个人感觉这笔子弹都是大家心照不宣的事，他可能是个臭名昭著的军火商，货源不符合米国法律但是政府不可能不知道，这样的人有本事搞到低价货，给他个黑名单算是对外界一个交代，实际上合作多一定很多，毕竟便宜！就算真供出他的名字他也不会有什么事，象征性的通缉一下吧。可能就是这点，是亨利看中他最关键的一点，嘴巴比较严！在说军火商有钱也不是说这么给的，给钱就是有要求！最后告诉他别问问题，那么拿钱做事，要么空手走人！

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."
