Cage is a weapons dealer selling armaments to anyone that can pay regardless of their intentions - while having a great time making money.
One of Nicolas Cage's best roles, although I felt the movie didn't go to the full depth it could have.
An outstanding film that perfectly encompasses the arms trade, and the immovable grasp war has on humanity.
The gunrunner movie that you expect but puts the scene in perspective. Some good cat and mouse, balance of power and situations.
Sorta discount Scorsese, but it's still good.
One of the better Cage movies imo. Hard story with a nice pace. Shines a little light on the more hidden sight of wars through fiction
A great example of a rise and fall type film, Lord of War focuses on and trivialises the illegal arms trade, and does it quite well.
One of the better nick cage movies. Glory to the MPLA
Powerful film about the arms trade, great Nic Cage performance, comical and depressing in equal measure
Don't worry this is one of the good Nicholas Cage movies
