I don't like war movies and this film is about war. The movie is strong, realistic and about war. Are you thinking of "Saving Private Ryan" by now? Nope it isn't anywhere near, I'll give you another hint - applicable to our current day - are thinking about Iraq? another hint - it's humourous ... what could you be thinking now?

Lord of war (Review) is about an arms trader, Nicolas Cage, who as the name suggests makes a living by trading arms. The script is very well written, very witty and uses a narrator which I really like. The opening sequence that follows the life of a bullet from it's manufacture till it's destined end is a perfect prelude to a truly fantastic thought provoking picture. I say it's a happy film of a sad reality. 5/5 (Best film of the year)
