I felt used at the end.

Rating: 5/10 (19 September 2005)

I was attracted to the movie by the prospect of Cage, one of my favorite actors, playing a cool and interesting character (he did a great job). I was pleased early on, while coming to my own conclusions about the vileness of the character's business dealings, but very disappointed at the end by the heavy-handed political digs that seemed to have been crammed in at the last minute. I think I was the victim of a bait-and-switch: lured by movie violence and then preached to that the US is the world's largest arms dealer. For people of like mind, who prefer their movies and their politics separate, leave 5 minutes early and don't sweat the details.
