About this product

Product Information

Based on actual events, this black comedy-drama stars Nicholas Cage as international arms smuggler Uri Orlov. The story follows Uri from his humble beginnings as a Soviet immigrant in 1970s Brooklyn and peaks with his involvement in selling off the stockpiled arsenal of post-Cold War Ukraine to among other top clients the sadistic African dictator Andre Baptiste, Sr. (Eamonn Walker). Jared Leto co-stars as Uri's little brother Vitaly, whose conscience and a burgeoning cocaine problem get in the way of business. Ethan Hawke is good as a sanctimonious Interpol agent with a vendetta against Uri, but the film's biggest dose of onscreen gravitas comes from Walker, whose Baptiste seethes with a heavy, serpent-like malevolence. Written and directed by Andrew Niccol, the film makes fine use of the brisk stream-of-consciousness narration style that Martin Scorcese brought to the true crime genre with 'Goodfellas' (1992), and a near constant flow of action and classic rock songs that ensure a speedy, riveting ride through three decades of global carnage. Cage, who coproduced, lets his patented oddball magnetism slowly change polarity, until viewers realise they've been led into a moral quagmire by falling for his self-delusory spiels about supply and demand, making this one of the bravest and most jet-black comedies of its decade.

Reviews
FHM - One of the coolest movies of the year., Sight And Sound - Cage has excelled at playing gaunt-faced but sympathetic loners. He excels again here in a role that allows him to show his flair for deadpan comedy..., Hotdog - Superb, a blockbuster with brains.

Lord Of War
Nicolas Cage as an international arms dealer is highly convincin...g as his vocal tones and appearance in the film make him almost likeable despite knowing his trade. Lord Of War itself exposes the crookedness of the international arms trade in which Orlov takes a main role. Based on true events, the film allows an insight into heartless warmongery and how guns are more of a threat than nuclear missiles. The hipocritical life Orlov leads mirrors the life of anyone with secrets and makes us realise what happens if secrets are kept from the ones we love

This film is brilliant as it includes the following quotes: "The first and most important rule of gun-running is: Never get shot with your own merchandise." "Back then, I didn't sell to Osama Bin Laden. Not because of moral reasons, but because he was always bouncing checks." "I sell guns to every army but the Salvation Army." "Any friend of my brothers' is a... a friend of my brothers." Enjoy!
