Lord of War (DVD, 2006, Widescreen - Single Disc)

The story line is a typical action movie with obvious intent of just creating another fast, action-packed, gun-fighting movie. Cage of course is a great actor and does a good job in his part. The movie is a little long and full of strong language. There is an underlying message that guns are bad which is kinda cheesy but I guess the message is true.

To say the least!

Not too bad. Nicholas Cage does a fne job in this film, in which he plays a gun runner. The story is interesting, and the characters are all nicely done. Makes it look a little too easy to get into the gun running business, but it does what it set out to do.

Another good work from Nicolas Cage. I think this movie was based on a real story, definitely recommend to watch.

The most important rule of gun-running is: Never get shot with your own merchandise.An arm dealer (Nicholas Cage) confronts the morality of his work as he being chased by Interpol agent (Ethan Hawke).This movie charts the rise and fall of Yuri Orlov,from his early days in the early 1980s in Little Odessa,selling guns to mobsters in his local neighborhood,through to his ascension through the decade of excess and indulgence into the early 90s,where he forms a business partnership with an African warlord and his psychotic son.The movie also charts his relationship through the years with his younger brother,his marriage to a famous model,his relentless pursuit by a determined federal agent and his inner demons that sway between his drive for success and the immorality of what he does.

Nick Cage is an international arms dealer hiding his life from his wife. When things get shaky, he turns it up delivers a hit! Thanks for reading my opinion, and if you'ld like to check out my store, I am permitted by ebay to provide you a link here:

I thought this was a really cool movie. This guy and his brother sell guns all over the world. A relentless customs agent pursues them. They have their ups they have their downs. But that’s life when you sell thousands of guns a year to people like Liberian dictator Andre Baptiste and his rather crazy son.

This was the type of movie I would have been just as happy hearing about in a short news report. Although the message was an intriguing one, I do not think it warranted being made into a movie. I do think that Nicolas Cage and Jared Leto did a great job. There were some funny moments amidst the serious ones that lightened the mood. However, after it was over, I wasn’t left feeling strongly either way. It wasn’t great, wasn’t bad, just okay.

Nicolas Cage did a very good job of acting in his role of an arms dealer. The movie does a great job of showing viewers the darker side of arms dealers and the lives that they choose to lead. You see the emotional struggle that Nicolas' character goes through about leading the life of a criminal, but always reverts back to the life of crime despite attemps to remove himself from the trade.

The movie shows the rise and fall of an arms dealer and the personal losses he suffers through, despite raking in millions of dollars in blood money.

You will also learn some very powerful (and true!!) statistics about arms trade and the impact that arms dealing has on the economy and the world.

Good movie - reflects how life is in other countries and shows how much different life is in this country compared to the former East Block countries. Great ending

I really liked this movie when I first saw it and just had to have it for my collection! Nicholas Cage and Jared Leto are so good on this movie! I can watch it over and over! There is nothing about this movie I didn't like! A+++++

Lord of War is absolutely action packed. A great story line with great acting makes this movie one of the best for 2006. A must see for action movie lovers.

Big fan of Nick Cage. Seller offered a great price. Came quickly in the mail. Enjoyed the movie. But, a little depressing. I'd buy from seller again any time. JPM

Not a typical Nick Cage movie. Although well acted , very slow and not much action. If you want to watch a movie to tell you guns are dangerous, then here is your movie. I'm not into the political movies , i just want to be entertained, and this movie doesn't do it.

i wouldnt classify this as a comedy (but somehow thats how its classified) .... yes there were some funny parts but i think the movie is more of a drama .... definatly worth while to watch, it offers another point of view to appreciate

This movie is good to watch, there are some slow points, but it offers a different perspective on guns, and the truth about people who are out there selling weapons to the United States enemies on a daily basis. Overall I thought the movie was good, acting as good as can be for a movie of this nature, and different. Worth the rental.

I enjoyed this movie enough to add it to my collection. Nicholas Cage is a wonderful actor and played a great part in this movie. Its fulled with drama and excitement.

Cage is better than usual. The film spits of liberal propaganda, but not enough to make the film unenjoyable. Great scenes of guns.

This is probably one of my favorite movies to watch when there's nothing on TV. Cage does a brilliant job of making himself seem like a guy you can feel sorry for, all the while maintaining that same old mundane drone that he has in all of the movies he stars in/narrarates (you know, like all of them).

This is a great movie on two seperate levels. The acting and performances are great from pretty much the entire cast. The message, however, is probably better than the movie itself, as the film challenges you to think about what your government might be doing below the surface. The sad thing is that this is all based on actual events and occurances, though the names and specific details may have been changed.

I highly recommend this movie for anyone. It's a great film with good acting, though it's not overly kid friendly. There is some nudity and language, but nothing that is enough to completely turn you off to continue watching.

Loved the movie. It is based on actual events and really shows how the world works. I am also a big Nick Cage fan.

i am the biggest nicholas cage fan ever but was very disappointed in this movie it was slow and boring could have been a lot better

this movie was awsome im glad i purchase this movie it is everything to love about this movie with no dislikes about i decided to buy it because it was for a good price

"Lord of War" is about a man named Yuri (Nicolas Cage) who in the early 80's decides that he doesn't want to just work in a restaurant for the rest of his life and decides that instead he wants to be an arms dealer. Once he makes his first sale, Yuri is hooked on the feeling of making big money for selling firearms, and continues to sell the firearms but he wants more and more of a profit and more and more of a challenge. It's not until an Interpol agent (Ethan Hawke) is hot on Yuri's case that he begins to question the nature of his business and whether what he is doing for a living is moral and if he should be responsible for the hands these weapons get into and what they are used for. A powerful performance by Nicolas Cage, as well as a great thought-provoking movie ensues… I love movies like this one for a few reasons. The main reason is that for the most part you can't predict what is going to happen next or where the film is going. Another reason I like movies like this is because it's powerful and its makes you think. And lastly I like a movie like this because it doesn't end in a typical way and actually leaves you feeling blown-away and surprised.

The filmed starred Nicolas Cage who lately has done of some the best work of his career. His performance here is top-notch and powerful. There are so many other people in the film including Jared Leto, Ian Holm, Ethan Hawke and Bridget Moynahan to name a few who are also very good at the roles they played. This film is written and directed by Andre Niccol the same man who wrote "The Terminal" and "The Truman Show".

I guess this movie all comes down to how open minded the movie-goers who see this are. I guess it also amounts to where you stand on the political fence. The film is not for those who don't have an open mind about things that are going on in the world today. The movie is based on true events so be warned that some of things shown in the film are happening in real life or did happen at one point in time. To be honest, I do believe what the film states in the end, it doesn't seem at all far fetched. It's like Yuri says in the film "it's not our war and no matter what we do we can't stop it" and that's true it's like smoking kills people every day but there are people who run cigarette companies everyday knowing that they are killing people every single day and getting people addicted to something that in the end will kill them. Is that moral? What can we do to stop it? These are questions this film asks and leaves it to the viewer to decide on.

Hope this helps you decide.Thanks for reading! :)
