Honest insight into the world of gun running... unsettling but informative...

Rating: 8/10 (28 January 2006)

This film is an honest but unsettling account of the gun running trade by mercenary gun runners whose only morality is to money and nothing else. The good thing about this film is that it does not shy away from the morality of the whole issue, with Nick Cage effortlessly playing the lead role in a way that only he can do best. Charming yet ruthless, Cage is a wonder as the amoral lead character. Wonderfully assisted by the rest of the characters in this movie in a storyline that will keep your attention, and thankfully does not place a simple forgiving ending to the movie (as say Spielberg would). Will not help you sleep well at night, but a definite intelligent movie worth watching. Recommmended.
