Not what I was expecting but I truly enjoyed it

Rating: 8/10 (16 September 2005)

The trailers I'd seen indicated more of an action flick, but what LOW turned out to be is a rather talky life story of a gun runner.
First, though, let me tell you that the backdrop for the opening credits is really nice, taking us from the manufacture of a bullet to the spot where it kills a person. Very well done.
Performances by all the primaries were good, with Jared Leto being the standout as Nick Cage's younger brother. He should get an Oscar nod for the performance. Cage put in a standard turn as one of our better American actors.
All in all, well worth seeing. It is one of those films that is made twice as good by the ending, which is not shocking, but a bit of a twist.
I give it 8 out of 10.
