Boring

Rating: 1/10 (23 January 2006)

I rented this movie to watch with my husband. We were both bored by it. I found it lacked passion. There was no chemistry between Nicolas Cage and Bridget Moynahan. The relationship between Nicolas cage and Jared Leto as brothers seemed cold as well. The narrative performed by Nicolas Cage during the movie was monotonous. Perhaps if the lead character had some passion for his wife, brother, or son the movie would have come across better.
Although there was an underlying message to the movie, I don't feel it was worth watching for this alone. I expect to be entertained by a movie, but Lord of War did not do this.
The movie was rated 14A in Canada. In my opinion it should have been restricted. There sex scenes, although not as revealing as they could have been, were explicit. The violence was also graphic. I cringe to think that 14 year old children are watching this movie.
