Movie Reviews of Lord of War (Widescreen)
Movie Review: Hey! Its entertainment
Summary: 3 Stars
Funny to read the 'righties' and 'lefties' searching for political messages and hidden agendas... PEOPLE!!!!! This movie is ENTERTAINMENT!!!! So, with a grain of salt, realize this movie is SATIRE and BLACK COMEDY with gun running as the vehicle.
With that disclaimer out of my system, let me say, i really enjoyed the movie. Nicholas Cage, when allowed, has an incredibly wry sense of humor.
Summary of Lord of War (Widescreen)
This charts the rise & fall of yuri orlov from the early 80s in little odessa selling guns to mobsters in his local neighborhood into the early 90s where he forms a business partnership with an african warlord & his psychotic son. Studio: Lions Gate Home Ent. Release Date: 05/22/2007 Starring: Nicolas Cage Jared Leto Run time: 122 minutes Rating: RThe lethal business of arms dealers provides an electrifying context for the black-as-coal humor of Andrew Niccol's Lord of War. Having proven his ingenuity as the writer of The Truman Show, and writer-director of Gattaca and the under-appreciated Simone, Niccol is clearly striving for Strangelovian relevance here as he chronicles the rise and inevitable fall of Yuri Orlov (Nicolas Cage), a Ukrainian immigrant to America who makes his fortune selling every kind of ordnance he can get his amoral hands on. With a trophy wife (Bridget Moynahan) who's initially clueless about his hidden career, and a younger brother (Jared Leto) whose drug-addled sense of decency makes him an ill-chosen accomplice, Yuri traffics in death the way other salesman might push vacuum cleaners (he likes to say that alcohol and tobacco are deadlier products than his), but even he can't deny the sheer ruthlessness of the Liberian dictator (a scene-stealing Eamonn Walker) who purchases Orlov's "products" to expand his oppressive regime. Niccol's themes are even bigger than Yuri's arms deals, and he drives them home with a blunt-force lack of subtlety, but Cage gives the film the kind of insanely dark humor it needs to have. To understand this monster named Yuri, we have to see at least a glimpse of his humanity, which Cage provides as only he can. Otherwise, this epic tale of gunrunnng would be as morally unbearable as the black market trade it illuminates. --Jeff Shannon
