instructive and thorough examination of the arms smuggling

Rating: 7/10 (17 December 2005)

I found this comedy/drama extremely interesting in his documentation of wealthy countries gun trade at the expense of poor people. Andrew Niccol delivered a didactic piece of work, log lesson but never tiresome. This work manages to combine dramatic events and a dark humour, succeeding in making laugh in spite of the seriousness of the subject. Nicholas Cage's acting performance is not as perfect as usually but decent anyway, the script is quite solid and the direction too, that's why the movie gets its message, dealing with ethical matters without ever being heavy. Bridget Moynahan gorgeous but surprisingly less believable than in other films.
