Lord of War

This is a fantastic movie, without a doubt one of Cages best, maybe THE best. Great performances by everyone. This movie presents a stark view of the world that is unfortunately, very accurate. War is a big business and the ultimate in consumerism. It consumes everything. Vast munitions, equipment, structures and even people are swallowed by it.

Upon my sons recommendation I watched Lord of War. I had never heard of the movie so I was a little skeptical. I found the movie extremely well done and enjoyed it. As disturbing as the portrayal of the arms business was, I was even more captivated by the fact that what was in the movie seemed that it could be very reflective of real life. I would recommend the movie.

This movie is well done. Some of the effects are a little dated but the acting is great and the story is gripping and gritty. This is one of my favorite movies and I almost named my son after one of the characters.

well since i read this morning that they finally arrested to my dismay the inspiration to this film victor bout, this is going to be an even more classic than i initially thought! they obv took several steps to disguise his real identitiy in the film. but wow... i cant believe the bulltrash our government did to catch this guy.... i mean the reality is he knows too much and theyre going to silence him... the best way they know how, humiliation and isolation. worse then assassination. great great great movie, an eye opening true story made even more real by the re-arrest of the real victor bout....BUY IT NOW .. weather ur a christian minister, a judge, a cop, a doctor, a construction worker, a drug dealer, or a teenager THIS MOVIE WILL TEACH U THINGS ABOUT REALITY AND LIFE!!!!!! a insightfull look into the correlation between black ops and other completely immoral government world politics and business.........and the best part is its a true story... like blow and casino, only IMMENSELY MORE RELEVANT

A fictional movie about real life events. Captivating all throughout. If you are looking at the reviews. You owe it to yourself to give it a watch.

No problems, arrived earlier than expected.

My wife hates Cage but does think this movie is pretty good for a Cage movie.

Eye-opening and realistic depiction of the real-life international gun runner. Yuri Olov sold weapons to anyone and everyone in the world for a price. He even sold weapons to both sides of a conflict. Those of us in the US who want to ban guns need to see this. No matter how illegal a gun trade is you simply cannot prevent a gun being sold to someone who believes in a cause. Even if that cause is simply freedom. Because there will always be someone willing to sell them.

In Lord of War, Nicholas Cage plays an illegal arms dealer based on the profiles of multiple (actual) people in the same trade who were active in early 90s illegal arms trade. His performance is what you expect (excellent) and the cast is of similar caliber (pardon the pun), including Ethan Hawke, Jared Leto, and Bridget Moynahan, to name a few. Although the plot is somewhat predictable (bad decisions lead to bad outcomes), its still a well-made movie. Who would the movie appeal to? Im not sure. I watched it because it stars Cage. Outside Cage fans, it may appeal to those interested in the historical context that the film covers - early 90s illegal arms trade in Africa. Its definitely not a feel good movie given the content.

My grandpa wanted to watch this movie for years and finally was able to thanks to amazon! Movie came within a couple weeks in excellent shape! Would reccomend for sure
