Lord of War was NOT the movie I was expecting. In fact I recommend it |
|
for some decent Saturday night video with quite the anti-arms dealing establishment overt and covert

1. That one does look very good to me. |
|
But it's rather violent, isn't it? And the mood is black......depressing.
We'll probably get it on DVD.....
Thanks for the recommendation!

5. It's not as violent as you'd expect. |
|
I mean, it's not nearly as violent as something like "Terminator". There are few on-screen acts of violence, but the ones that appear are quire frank and brutal. That movie doesn't pull any punches. I recommend it highly.

7. Yeahhhh there were a few parts. |
|
Like during the opening of the movie, where you follow the life of the bullet. You know where it is going to end up, but it was a wee bit graphic. And the Baptiste scenes were pretty gruesome.
It has Nicolas Cage. :9

4. I second that recommendation |
|
We rented it a few weeks ago, and were really struck by how many serious issues were touched on - it was actually sort of educational.
Also, we got a good laugh from 'Col. Oliver Southern'.

I liked it, especially at the end when his life was completely fucked and he was sitting down with the interpol agent, telling the agent what was going to happen.
I liked the way they framed "big arms dealers" at the end, too.
