decent film

Rating: Null/10 (8 December 2005)

This was a pretty good movie about an arms dealer. Nicolas Cage plays the role and does quite a good job with it. The movie starts off with him standing over a hill observing a bunch of weapons, and he turns around and makes some comments about how "There are enough weapons for one out of every 12 people. The question is, how do we arm the other 11?" The rest of the film is told from the early 80's to the present day. The character played by Cage was an interesting one, as we learn more about his background as an immigrant to ascent as an arms dealer and married man with a child. He marries a girl he has a huge crush on. There is much ado about the moral implications of such a career and the impact it has on his family life. It caught my attention throughout. You might like it.
** 1/2 out of ****
