Default Nicolas Cage\'s Lord of War

This is an awesome movie. It's very witty, the acting is great, the action is good and there is an excellent plot.

I'm a poli sci major and that increased the enjoyability of my experience.. but the avg. use would clearly like it as well!

I thought it was a bit uneven (and cringe-inducing at times) but overall it was an interesting story and a good performance from Cage. Jared Leto as the younger brother and Bridget Moynahan as the wife were pretty good; Eamonn Walker as the African warlord ("Lord of War") was awesome.

I also saw "The Constant Gardener" this past weekend, which was excellent.

I liked the addiction subplot that they brought into it (the brother's addiction to cocaine and cage's addiction to arms dealing).The whole point cage makes about "recreational use" was pretty interesting. Cage doesn't understand how his brother became addicted to cocaine, and looks down on him for it. At the same time, Cage himself goes beyond "recreational" arms dealing and cannot get away from it.

I think the movie got it's point across without having to roll out the "moral" at the end.

While NC's acting in most flicks is cringe worthy (and I haven't seen this one yet), his performance in Leaving Las Vegas was one of the finest performances I've ever seen...

And I believe he won an Oscar for that role...

Average movie. The opening credits were awful and the movie was pretty predictable.

It did make me want to by an AK47 though
