This is one of the stupidest, most single-minded interpretations of that movie I've heard.

It's far more complex and conflicted than this.

Re: lord of war
 

it was good, but I'd wait for it on DVD unless you've already seen everything else and you really want to go to the movies.

Re: lord of war
 

Excellent

Saw it last night and liked it. The opening scene is quite novel and sets a good tone. The ending is very nice also. The middle tells the story of a Russian immigrants rise to the top of the arms dealer world. Overall well worth the time and rental fee. 7.5

Re: lord of war
 

It's not Cage at his best, but it is decent, and good entertainment for teh full duration. Rent it.

Re: lord of war
 

Rented it last night while we were out. Gonna watch it tomorrow.

Yeah, but you also get Nick Cage at his best, alternately scowling or standing there with his mouth hanging open for two straight hours.

Re: lord of war
 

i really liked it, parts of it are a little weird and it was a little off putting at times but it warmed to me. it has its own style, and cage does v well. it is very funny at times. 8/10.

my favorite line of the whole movie, made me laugh out loud: in white

<font color="white">Cage sits down with the president of liberia (the iman from Oz... awesome pick) and the president flatly tells him, "I will pay you in timber." </font>

Re: lord of war
 

My favorite:

<font color="white"> when Cage rents the beach and hotel to meet his future wife and she says something like "this wasn't a coincidence we met like this." His reply "No, it was fate." Smooth.</font>

I actually worked here in DC on this issue for about 6 months, and went the the DC premiere of LoW... you hear DC called the ugly person's Hollywood, but to see how much staff and even members fawn over these guys is pretty disgusting.

Anyway, for entertainment value, the movie's probably just average or a little better, but the stats are all 100% accurate - most coming directly for fact sheets written by co-workers. Cage's character is also a composite of 4 real dealers, so even many of the ridiculous situations he gets himself into are pretty dead on (not the wife side plot, though).
