Primary
The film critiques both the systemic flaws that enable war profiteering and the individual greed driving it, presenting a morally ambiguous narrative without explicitly promoting a specific political ideology or offering a partisan solution.
The movie features a predominantly white main cast, with some visible diversity in supporting roles, but does not include explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally white characters. The narrative critiques the actions and moral choices of its protagonists within the arms trade, rather than explicitly focusing on or critiquing traditional identities or DEI themes.
Secondary
War Dogs does not include any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative centers exclusively on the heterosexual male protagonists and their business ventures, with no elements related to queer identity or experiences present in the film's plot or character arcs.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The film "War Dogs" is based on a true story and a Rolling Stone article. All major characters, including the real-life figures David Packouz and Efraim Diveroli, maintain their historically established gender in the on-screen portrayal. No character established as one gender in source material or history is depicted as a different gender.
The film "War Dogs" is based on real historical figures, David Packouz and Efraim Diveroli, both of whom are white. The actors portraying them, Miles Teller and Jonah Hill, are also white. All other significant characters align with their historical or source material race. Therefore, no race swaps occurred.
