More boring Hollywood moralizing

Rating: 1/10 (10 March 2006)

The story of an amoral arms dealer from New York could be made into an interesting movie, but this isn't it. "Lord of War" is a paint-by-numbers, preachy, finger-pointing, "oh, isn't the arms trade so unethical and it kills kittens and puppies too" piece of Hollywood garbage. Whatever happened to characters, stories and dialog? The big studios wonder why box office numbers keep declining, well its because of crap like this.
Nicholas Cage stars and narrates the entire movie, as Yuri, the arms dealer, who with help of his brother, becomes an arms dealing kingpin. This movie takes you from his start, in Little Odessa, to his time at the top. It was a boring story with boring characters, where nothing happened. I couldn't sit through the entire thing.
