Unexpected slap in the face!!!

Rating: 8/10 (17 July 2006)

I put this film off for quite a while and finally getting round to it, I watched it for no more than 15 minutes before falling asleep. I gave it one more try and was stuck to the screen the whole time.
I thought it was going to be this action film with machine guns firing and never running out and explosions and that but there is a film that has a very serious undertone to it with a slight twist of humour.
I found Nicholas Cage brought a good performance to this role and everything that he done which effected the world also effected his family.
Some slick sharp thinking made him the great salesman but not of cars...but of guns. It also left this disturbing thought in your mind that this is actually going on in the world and knowing how cold and evil this world really is.
If the slickness of his car-salesman tactics had been thoroughly thought through then I probably would have notched the score up a little but still a great film and a real eye-opener.
