great move, shows you nothing in the world B&W

Rating: 7/10 (27 November 2005)

It's been a while since I las saw a decent Hollywood movie. I must admit I thought this would be the next action thriller off the production line, but then I saw the movie...It is marvelous, N. Cage is at his best (he's always been good at acting cynical characters) and the plot is great. The movie starts with an excellent perspective of the lifespan of an average bullet. Starting from some run-down factory off to the ship to some god forsaken African country and naturally ends in .... a young boy's forehead. Cynical enough, to prepare you for the next couple of hours. The rest I leave to the viewers to discover, but one you can e sure of - this is no regular movie about arms dealing. Nice to see a Hollywood movie ending with something other than a happy end. Definitely a must see..
