Movie Reviews of Lord of War (Widescreen)
Movie Review: The King of sleaze
Summary: 5 Stars
The film was perfectly cast, has a great cast and is entertaining from start to finish. Nicholas Cage was perfect for the starring role as a thoroughly amoral arms dealer; and Ian Holm was his equal in his performance and in his portrayal of someone with Grade Z ethics.
Although the plot is completely different, I link Lord of War with the equally great A History of Violence. Both of these are light years ahead of almost everything made just a few years earlier. My hat's off to all of those involved in producing such films.
Just be warned. These films are not sugar-coated and some may find Lord of War a bit too intense.
Movie Review: one of the best movies
Summary: 5 Stars
on the world we live in i have ever seen.
depicts all the cruelty and uncaring and.. numbness and lack of any or all feeling toward other people, their suffering, and indeed their LIFE.
i hear it is based on true story, but even it is not, you KNOW things like that happen EVERY DAY in the world, cuz you watch the news.
its a true tragedy.
and an excellent film with nick cage perfect in the role.
Movie Review: Much as I would prefer not to believe it, this is based on a true story.
Summary: 5 Stars
This tight, well mounted and extremely well acted, produced and directed film, LORD OF THE WAR, brings to light the ugly underbelly of the world of professional arms dealers. Nicholas Cage is absolutely believable as the purveyor of illicit arms to some of the world's most unsavory dictators. This is an important film, and while disturbing, perhaps because it is so disturbing, it should be seen by everyone.Movie Review: SEEING LORD OF WAR WAS LIKE GOING HOME
Summary: 5 Stars
After 25 years in West central Africa and after living through several of the wars that went on there, it was like going home to watch this movie. There were one or two items out of place but other than that it was as real as a movie of this nature can get. If anything it was not violent enough and didn't show the gross incompetence of the U.N. in stopping some of the killing of civilians that went on.Movie Review: Excellent!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is another brilliant performance by Nicolas Cage a Ukranian immigrant arms dealer who lives a secret life from his family. The movie is fun throughout and raises a lot of moral questions. Cage is basically a nice guy who is in "business" because he is "good" at what he does. When he is made to see what his work is causing, he has to choose between his "career" and doing what is right.
