Good, but not great

Rating: 7/10 (8 March 2006)

I enjoyed "Lord of War", although I was expecting more from Andrew Niccol. That said, this is an extremely interesting movie that took some courage to make. Nicolas Cage is believable and doesn't overplay for once. The script is a little clichéd sometimes but for mere details.
The best thing about the movie is the really dark humour through its snappy dialogue. For instance when Cage describes the AK-47. As informative as it is shocking, and it brings uneasy laughs sometimes... proof that it works! The opening sequence following a bullet from its factory to the skull of its victim is well done and sets the tone for the entire film.
Give it a try, worth watching.
