lordofwar.jpg I’ll be brief, this movie was great. Nicholas Cage’s character, Yuri, is the Lord of War. He rubs shoulders with the worst people in the world and supplies them with, as he puts it, a means to defend themselves. This movie exposes you to the most fascinating … facts or fiction? … of arms dealing. I believe theres many truths to it, and the drama itself is very interesting.

There were a number of memorable quotes from the movie that I’d like to share:

“Governments are changed more often by bullets than votes.”

“After the Cold War, the AK-47 became Russia’s biggest export. After that came vodka, caviar, and suicidal novelists.”

I could go on but the movie is certainly worth watching. There’s a touch of humor and history, how could you not like it? It’s harsh, though. Reality sometimes is. You’ll see bloodshed; much of it is actually occuring as you read this (all seven of you).

If I were to give this a rating I’d say 9/10. IMDB users rated it a 7.5 (which is high). Did anyone else like it as much as I did? Maybe I found it favorable becuase it gave me a chance to test out my new electric blanket…
