Lord of War

One of his 5 best! And I have seen at least 15 of Nicholas Cages films through the years! Kudos to the son of Francis Ford Coppola -- his inherited talent shows by the hard work Nicholas Cage has put in to further his developed skills, intelligence, dedication, and interest in becoming a FINE actor -- one of the best of Hollywood!

Nick Cages best (serious) film.

This is one of those movies that if I see is on, I will sit down and continue watching it like Ive never seen it before. The whole story is absolutely incredible and also fascinating that it is inspired by someone out there....

I enjoyed this movie very much. Nicholas Cage always delivers a good performance and this was a good and realistic story with drama and comedy. It was a good watch from beginning to end.

This is a good action movie. I found it to be a 4 stars because I was looking for a combat type movie, so this left me wanting. You might find it to be a 5 star. Acting is really good... a Nicholas Cage movie.

If you like action movies of this type youll like this movie.

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.

The Good Things *Complex, all-encompassing story thats thrilling and interesting throughout. *Very strong, thought-provoking themes (especially concerning the moral implications of gun trafficking, the corruptive nature of crime, world governments role in worldwide violence, and many other eye-opening topics). *Lots of memorable scenes and imagery that reinforce the various themes. Good filming style. *Excellent characters. Nicholas Cage provides both witty humor and bleak moral commentary. *Some parts are exceptionally detailed and realistic; it is clear that the filmmakers did their research. Good writing. *Good sound and music design. The Bad Things *Some themes really are convoluted, especially regarding the main character. Even though he looses everything, he never really suffers any legal punishment and never learns from his mistakes, and continues to smuggle guns. *Not sure if the film is really politically or socially accurate. I could summarize this as Scarface with guns instead of drugs, but such a comparison is really too simple. Although Yuri (Nicholas Cage) has many of the same traits as Tonny Montanna, he is a very different character, full of wit and wisdom that contrasts with his lack of morality. This film also differentiates itself with vivid settings (both physical and political), a strong filming style, and some very revealing themes. This film portrays many of the problems in developing countries, and explores the issues surrounding them. By the end of it, it leaves you bleakly pondering about the worlds situation. I would definately reccomend to everybody to at least rent this movie.

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.
