Lord of War

Follow a bullet from an assembly line in Russia to the front line in Africa, then follow the man who facilitates, profits and ultimately is enslaved by the trade. Nicolas Cage helps an otherwise slimy character to be sympathetic and possessing a great deal more dimension. The aspects of the film that cover the flashy and often grimy aspects of the arms trade and the constant outmaneuvering of interpol are the high points. The film loses steam in the final act, unable to wrap things up.

I should've left after the opening credits. They're the best thing in this movie, which is uncreative in its music cues (Ooh, they played "Cocaine" during the scene where he snorts cocaine! And "Money (That's What I Want)" during the scene when he starts getting rich!), & lazy in its characterizations and use of voice-over. The cynical humor is aggravating, a defense shield against the charge that the film really has nothing to say.

I can't sell a used gun. Now you have to buy it!

filmin sonunda on saniyelik "ingiltere, almanya filan silah satıyor" kısmı için mi koyu yeşil yakmalıyız tam olarak anlamadım. çünkü film boyunca 1 sn bile bu vicdansız herif eleştirilmedi. yine siz bilirsiniz. ayrıca mantık hatalarından canım sıkıldı.

This isn't a great movie, but it's exactly what I wanted to watch at the moment: something polished and entertaining that doesn't ask you to think too much. Oh, there were some bits that made me roll my eyes: the informative, ironic and completely predictable on-screen text just before the ending credits roll, "Cocaine" playing over a cocaine scene (there ought to be a law), wholly gratuitous T&A. But still, it held my attention, had a few funny lines, and never really irritated me.
