I would never have gone to a movie theater to see this movie - not my general subject matter - but I like Cage in other movies so, I rented this one -- and got one of those great surprises when one of the movies you rent turns out to be --- just great. My first such movie was The Fifth Element and it happens rarely, but it sure did happen with The Lord of War.
Just well done with some unexpected humor and Cage was, imo, perfect as Yuri. And I love Leto too. Present day issue explained well with lots of new perspective (for me, at least).
I will watch this one again and am considering its purchase.
For the record, I am 52 and a criminal defense lawyer in a small southern city.
