Lord of War

*with spoiler*

I just watched the movie, Lord of War starring Nicolas Cage who acts as a lone international arm dealer. I'd highly recommend it. A fucking cold and raw movie with some black humor. While watching the movie I was thinking "could this possibly be a true story?" Cuz I had a feeling it was. And so it is based on actual events as I find out in the end of the movie. I also find out that the US ranks in the top in weaponry dealings.

If you've seen it, I'm curious what your thoughts were...

All in all, I liked it. Some of the editing was choppy and it had some pretty heavy handed supporting acting (esp Cage's wife). But I thought it was pretty interesting. I really liked the opening sequence.

Pretty good watch indeed, but I'd only rent it.

Yeah the narratative style in the movie reminds me a lot of Fight Club which is one of my all time favorites. So I especially enjoyed the dry humor. Thought it was a very political film with a lot of hard, gut wrenching truth. I read somewhere that real life gun runners helped out with the script to add some of realism to the story.
