Lord of War

This may very well have been the best movie I've seen in months.  Very well done and it was very on the spot.  I mean, it is a movie about Nicholas Cage as an arms dealer, but it's much more than that.  Well filmed, a good narrative and voice over, and a plot that was just grabbing considering much of the same was being done over and over.  There was a love element, a family element, and a small bit of chase element, and I personally wonder how much is real.  Historical events were referenced, but I suppose we'll never see the real thing about arms dealers.  IMDB references that one of the piles of weapons or trucks or whatever was one borrowed from a real arms dealer since props would have been more expensive, but either way, that was a whole lot of weapons.  Definitely recommended.
