Much better than expected, with that title... !!!

Rating: 10/10 (12 May 2007)

Usually movies which are quiet violent don't pleased me so much...
but that one, at the opposite of Blood Diamond (very well acted I admit), is just perfect!
The story in itself is quiet simple, nevertheless the plot seems realistic.
The acting of all comedians, is just excellent too...
And the total amount of violence in this movie, at least for me, is also just as much as I can stand without being disgusted.
Of course, I don't want to hide from reality of what sadly happens in the real life, but I think there are different ways of showing war with cleverness, just like in Lord of War.
Furthermore, (still at the opposite of Blood Diamond) there is an subtle humor...
and last but not least a strong critical of the world's superpower leading countries, who are from far the all kind worst and largest weapons' dealers...
that makes Lord of the War a few classes above of most of these kinds of "war movies"...
I remember that after seeing Blood Diamond I was slightly angry with the Director, who, in my opinion, likes to much blood...
and now just after viewing Lord of the War, I know I was right :
strong and difficult war pictures can be shown, but the quantities you show and the way you adjust them, makes the difference between an OK average movie (B.D.)
and a very good one : Lord of War
Rate : 10/10
