Overall great movie

Rating: 8/10 (4 October 2006)

The movie was surprisingly very good. The best i've seen in a long time. The script, the cast, cinematography was excellent and i'm sure that "Lord Of War" should get lots of attention at next year's Oscars,although at first glance it seems that the jury will go with other pictures, dealing with lesser delicate issues. Cage's performance is excellent, so is Ethan Hawke's. The movie deals with the horrifying facts of war, and the power of money. It's kind of surprising how easy it was to get in to the business, at least in the cold war era. Being the biggest,most influential,most important arms dealer in the world,Cage's character couldn't be locked up no matter what,showing that political interests are above moral and human values.
