They are basically the original cast of The Hangover, but compared to the "chaos" of The Hangover, this film has the atmosphere of a biopic. One of the reasons why so many people give low grades in the first place is, committing 70 crimes and only getting a 4-year sentence in the end? The partner was only under house arrest for 7 months? Although there are many crimes involved, the bidding itself and the subsequent series of buying and selling arms are legal, but there are violations in the audit and the issue of bullet "manufacturers". When I saw the ending for the first time, I was very confused about what the real situation was. According to the actual situation and logic, I made a rough analysis: 1. The United States knows that Albania has a large number of ak47 bullets that the US military needs for the Afghanistan war, and knows that These bullets are all made in China; 2. If the U.S. military wants these bullets, it must contact Henry, because if the U.S. military directly finds the Albania military, the price will definitely rise. 3. Henry found AEY, which was actually designed from the beginning. What he valued was the mysterious background of AEY, which could solve a lot of unnecessary troubles, and more importantly, could control the transaction well. 4. The biggest changes in this bureau are the fat man, the driver and the packager. The driver leaked the sales information (Henry earned 400% more), the fat man turned against David when he saw his money, and the packager did not receive the payment (this should be Henry didn't expect it, after all nothing would happen if the deal went through). In the end, David asked Henry where the driver was. In fact, the driver was killed by Henry, but he didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble. All the 24w was equivalent to a hush money. It is also compensation for David's failure to provide Henry. At the same time, I think that the punishments for Fatty and David are completely different. On the one hand, Fatty is the mastermind, and on the other hand, it is the attitude of the two people towards the transaction: Fatty’s pursuit of profit destroys the normal progress of the transaction, and David only wants the transaction to proceed normally. After all, everyone earns money. Facts once again prove how important it is to choose friends, and how much benefit a person can bring to himself if he maintains his original intention!

David Packouz: [From the beginning of the film, as Miles Teller's character, David Packaouz, narrates over visuals of soldiers in war and as price figures of what a soldier's gear costs are displayed] What do you know about war? They'll tell you it's about patriotism, democracy... or some shit about the other guy hating our freedom. But you wanna know what it's really about? What do you see? A kid from Arkansas doing his patriotic duty to defend his country? I see a helmet, fire-retardant gloves, body armor and an M16. I see $17, 500. That's what it costs to outfit one American soldier. Over two million soldiers fought in Iraq and Afghanistan. It cost the American taxpayer $4.5 billion each year just to pay the air conditioning bills for those wars. And that's what war is really about. War is an economy. Anybody who tells you otherwise is either in on it or stupid.
