Lord of War

Reminds you what exactly makes war so horrible-- and how entwined it is even in first world countries. Brilliant acting all around honestly, with certain lines hitting you like a truck. I recommend watching for sure if you can.

Had to add this to my collection.

There are a plethora of reviews of the movie, but my review is mostly a comparison of the BD vs the HDTV broadcast version. I wont discuss its merits as movie. Its clear BD offers more than 1080i or 720p, and it shows if you want the best video and audio visible on a big screen TV. Video is noticeably sharper and the sound, particularly the explosions and other arms fire, pop out and are more distinct in BD. There is far more dynamic range and channel separation. Its very difficult to describe a visual, but the colors are noticeably more vibrant and the edges of images a touch sharper than even 1080i. For example, the opening scene of LOW shows the manufacture of bullets. In the DVD version, a viewer didnt notice it was all CGI. In 720p is looks CGI, in BD, its very noticeably CGI. So what looks like a great realistic effect now becomes a cartoon like opening sequence. The BD I received was made in 2006 or 07; it was one of the first BD releases. It has no extras, just the movie. Of interest, it had so many theft protection stickers and do-dads it was entertaining just to open the box.

Received this movie today. Great movie. To my surprise it came with an ultraviolet copy of the movie my code expires on 2015! 8-) When i open my package which was undamaged i noticed that my Jewel case was busted in the corner. the disc was fine but it no longer closes in that corner. please see pics below. All in all i think it was a good buy if the case wasnt busted i would have given five stars.

i watched this movie to kill time, thinking it was a shoot em up hollywood flick. instead, this is an original idea, disturbing, satirical, and very well done plot that sticks to you the day after you see it. the trophy wife who happily mooches off her millionaire husband, and then pulls the morality gig is a classic. where were her questions about her husbands (nicholas cage) line of work during the years when she spent his money? the lame good for nothing brother who is hooked on cocaine, only to clean up, find a girlfriend, and get ready to buy a business...but, where to get the money? oh yes, a little bit of gunrunning, as long as it is ethical, clean, and moral should do it, until he sees people hacked to death and ready to be slaughtered. then, the morality comes on, and manifests itself in a classic ill just blow it all up outburst. this one is a must see for all those folks jaded by the recent usual hollywood fare.

I love Nicholas Cage and, movie-wise, Id pretty much follow him anywhere. This isnt his best film, I think that honor goes to Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans (http://www.amazon.com/Bad-Lieutenant-Port-Orleans-Blu-ray/dp/B002TVQ48A/ref=sr_1_4?s=movies-tv&ie=UTF8&qid=1441511722&sr=1-4&keywords=bad+lieutenant), but its still a fun and exciting visit into the world of international gun running. If you ever wanted to see what the greediest most amoral gun runner on the planet looks like, this be your fella. This is probably more of a guy movie (certainly not a date movie, lol) but most women will probably tolerate it just to look at Nick Cage for a few hours. In the process they might get drawn into the dark but nonetheless entertaining (and even funny) movie. You have to love a guy whose chief philosophical dilemma is: There is one gun for every 12 people on the planet. The only question is: How are we going to arm the other 11?

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.

Great acting, and plot. Really holds up rented it bc my husband had not seen it and we were out of town. I own it on dvd bc it’s one I watch over and over

The DVD arrived on time and it was as described by the seller, Thank You.

A fascinating story that is the perfect vehicle for Nick Cage. Great cast, well acted, interesting and diverse locations and a highly entertaining plot. Gun running, dodging Interpol, dealing to the most reprehensible international warlords and hiding all of it from your wife, parents and son. Recommended.
