Lord of War - movie review

Now this is what I was hoping History of Violence would have been like. This movie was so well-written and acted that you actually care for Nicholas Cage's character, who just happens to be supplying weapons to many of the warzones across the world. One of things I loved about this film was the breaking of the "fourth wall" where Cage's character would explain his actions and how he goes about his job. It just made his character that much more believable and possibly even relatable. I also have to give mad props to Lion's Gate Films once again for taking a chance on a movie like this.

This was a spectacular film and among the best of the year thus far.

5 out of 6 beers.
