... A Message Movie!
This Film starring Nicholas Gage, Jared Leto and Ethan Hawke is entertaining as well as telling a gripping story of what is happening out in the 'real' world in a 'reel' story.
Nicholas deadpans a lot of the story, as he is telling it from the beginning, but it one that will hold your interesst from when he starts it to when he ends...
Fascinating story based on 'actual events', so much so that you really believe that is real!
It is on the 2nd disc, with the Bonus Features, that you really see that this film is setting forth a message. It gives the background of current arms deals, why the mountain of small arms has moved into West Africa and other conflict areas in the world.
This is not a light movie, not a popcorn movie, but a movie that conveys what it wants to say in an entertaining way.
The three named actors all portray their roles very well, and you are immersed in the story due to all the detail that is placed in by the writer/producer Norm Golightly. Recommended for viewing, but this film is not an upbeat movie!
