Amazing movie fast shipping

Makes me wanna do what he did

One of the best films I’ve ever seen, DEFINITELY Nicholas Cage’s best film! Lord of War has one of the besting opening scenes I have ever had the pleasure of viewing and the story keeps you hooked. Definitely watch this one!

I still enjoy the movie quite a bit, but I was disappointed that the blu ray version didnt deliver the full promise: the picture quality was rather good at times (e.g. bullet & cartridge scenes), but only average when shooting outside e.g. in the scenes in Africa which could have been amazing if shot properly. Audio was good, though. Summary + Movie, its characters and storyline + Audio - Picture quality should be better on Blu Ray

Lord of War is a wake up call for all people; it is a movie that emotionally effects the viewer and spotlights the reality of war that the mass media, educational systems, and social structure do not want you to understand. The first time I viewed this movie I found myself in complete disbelief that Hollywood had actually been able to release this film, because it is the ultimate Reality show: so truthful it is scary. In fact, without the cynical, often gut-wrenching, humor, the film would be too real to consider entertainment. I believe that it is this ultra realism that has lead to reviews that are, as stated by another reviewer, NAIVE--or cynical at best. That there are more reviews with four or fewer stars attests to the inability/refusal of viewers to pay attention to what they are watching. Lord of War is definitely not pure, unabashed indulgence of ones senses, but a film that requires listening and watching--engaging the film; not passing the time. As a former Combat Engineer Officer who was courted more than a few times by gun buyers and mercenaries--no I never got involved--I can assure you, like Robert D. Steele in his review, I have seen it all; and to the degree that I was ordered to abandon and bury weapons, ammunitions, and other military equipment, I was an unwilling participant in bringing war to others. The script is superb; the acting is so seamless, that it is easy to see how other reviewers describe the acting as something short of completely poor performances. Again, Robert D. Steele puts it most succinctly: This is a first rate movie with some truly extraordinary visuals and some truly extraordinary lines. It is unfortunate that politics, personal beliefs, and a general lack of interest in understanding the world we live in must overwhelm potential viewers interest, and thereby distract or prevent them from viewing, such a distinctly unique and powerful movie as Lord of War. When you watch the film, instead of thinking there is no way it could happen, stop and ask yourself: If this is really happening, what does it mean to me, my family, and my friends--not to mention nation? Then look at the research and the facts out there, and you will see that Lord of War is truly entertainment (at its best) imitating reality; that Lord of War is a movie you can watch over and over as a reality check that entertains and engages you, the viewer. Additionally, the 2-Disc Special Edition provides documentary follow-up to the statements and information made in the movie. While these features were not news to me, they have proven very beneficial for helping others who view the film as too far fetched to be true, despite their keen awareness of my past and knowledge of such events. They definitely add to the credibility of the movie for many. So, hopefully, more people will be encouraged to venture into true reality, and view this film--either for the first time, or with a new understanding of what the Lord of War is about. Update--1 July 2008: If this review was not helpful to you, I would appreciate learning the reason(s) so I can improve my reviews. My goal is to provide help to potential buyers, not get into any arguments. So, if you only disagree with my opinion, could you please say so in the comments and not indicate that the review was not helpful. Thanks.

Its really hard to find anything to dislike about this movie. Its well written with a strong cast. Perfect for a Sunday afternoon when you dont have anything to do.

The technical quality is theater standards. I especially like the 5.1 surround sound. The action and violence is typical which is very good for me every time. I am always mentioning the shooting but this one is about the tools for shooting. I also dont classify this movie as war. Like I said, I classify it as action, violence. I could classify it as documentary but like I said, in my spreadsheet it just was action, violence and I am thusly grateful to Amazon Prime Video.

This movie strikes at hard work paying off at the expense of ethics. It points out the many flaws the five major countries have in dealing with violence. With so MUCH violence in so many countries the two gun dealers were WAY to formally dressed wearing suits and ties when everyone else was in t shirts and flip flops. Perhaps, it meant something...........? Unlike a mafia movie this movie was great!

Not your typical thriller (where are the car chases..). Lord of War is constructed like a documentary with a plot. Cage is excellent, so is the screenplay. The movie not-so-subtly speaks against war, arm dealings, and developed countries making quick buck on misery of genocide and civil wars while at the same time hypocriticaly imposing embargos, sanctions, etc. Be prepared for strong language, a lot of violence and sexuality - all of which give really gritty surface to the otherwise sleek story. Many quotable one-liners and fast pace make it solid entertainment, if you can call it this thought-provoking drama.
