Alan John Gerstle

Cage is a weapons dealer selling armaments to anyone that can pay regardless of their intentions - while having a great time making money.

Best and maybe last great Cage. Amazing movie, intensive and interesting. Played on the high level.

One of Nicolas Cage's best roles, although I felt the movie didn't go to the full depth it could have.

Interesting movie about the business behind war.

The gunrunner movie that you expect but puts the scene in perspective. Some good cat and mouse, balance of power and situations.

Underrated Cage film about an arms dealer.

An outstanding film that perfectly encompasses the arms trade, and the immovable grasp war has on humanity.

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.

Sorta discount Scorsese, but it's still good.

Christian Raymond

Great movie with a higher meaning. I love how everything ties together. And incredible acting from an actor I'm not a fan of
