Lord of War Review (DVD)
I really loved this movie. It was funny as I expected, but I didn't realize that the movie would be more of an eye-opener as to what is going on in the rest of the world. Maybe there isn't much an average person can do about gun-running but at least it is good to be aware of what is going on. Nicholas Cage and Ethan Hawke do a pretty good job in this movie as do the guys that play the Baptiste duo. Lord of War is a serious movie, but it is funny and sad at the same time. Nicholas Cage's character is based on a conglomeration of five different arms dealers, but the conflicts and dates seem accurate. I would say that the movie is somewhat realistic because there are no real good guys and everyone has some flaws. This movie deals with gray areas rather than clear black and white, except for the message that guns are bad.
Lord of War = Great Rental

I too liked how a comedic and cynical tone was used to explore a dark and eye-opening issue.
By the way, I wanted to mention that I really like your site. I hope that you continue to post on the movies you watch.
Thanks for the support Chad. I'll try to put more reviews as quickly as I can. Spread the word. My next 3 DVDs are 25th Hour, Four Brothers and Flightplan. Stay tuned.
