The Truth About Guns & Wars
Many people might walk away from this one not feeling “entertained” because it’s not your typical Hollywood thriller. It’s not a “Feel Good” movie you should take a date on in the hopes of coming away high on life and hand in hand. It’s a movie that’ll make you think and might disturb the uninformed viewer who knows little about the politics of war.

This is a movie based on actual events (that means it’s a movie that has some truth to it). From what I heard the director made quite a bit of research of the gun running world when creating this movie.

This movie takes a look at the gun running business through the story of one particular trafficker played by Cage. It goes through two decades of wars & conflicts and how the business and politics of gun running works. Cage is the middle man in that world, who navigates through it very professionally and coolly. Cage’s character is made to be likable, but not a hero by any means.

Many people may think that this movie depicts certain cultures and races in a bad light, but if you know anything about history and keep up to date with world events you’ll understand the truth behind these portrayals.

The movie is interesting because it is as close as to a realistic look to arms trafficking as Hollywood could produce without making a documentary. It’s refreshing because of this.

I hope people see this movie because it very much shows the truth behind how wars are supplied and how the richest nations in the world have done this for the ultimate prize that thing that makes the world go round – Money.

The movie as a whole is produced very well and the acting and cinematography is up to par with the type of film it is (as mentioned before, don’t expect a big production Hollywood action flick).

Don’t expect your typical Hollywood ending here either.

(I’d compare this movie with Buffalo Soldiers (2001) with Joaquin Phoenix)

A ‘Stylish” Look At Arms Dealing
This was a very pleasant surprise, far better than I had ever hoped, filled with fabulous cinematography and riveting story about the life of arms dealer during the 1980s and ’90s.

It was an interesting film, to say the least, and Nicholas Cage was terrific as the lead character, “Yuri Orlov.” I loved his narration, too. How much of what he said is true, I have no idea, but it’s fascinating stuff. Don’t believe a lot of it, even when they tell you it is “based” on true events. Most of still can (and usually) is made up for dramatic purposes.

I felt those visuals, combined with the outstanding acting and always-interesting story made this a good film. It also proved you don’t need action every two minutes to keep a film involving for the audience. This has just the right amount of drama, suspense, action, romance and, yes, even humor.

With all the political comments made here in the narration I was wondering if I was going to hear the typical Democrat whine and sure enough, late in the film a comment is made regarding the 2000 elections. The liberals still can’t get over losing, fair and square. They just can’t accept that. This is about the fifth time I’ve heard this in 2007 films although at least time, the guy making the absurd statement was the Liberian dictator…..but it really was the film maker, of course. Despite that, and the very pessimistic storyline that evil always wins in the world. According to Bible of “Yuri,” in the end, the meek won’t inherit the earth; the arms dealers will and that evil rules, so why fight it and yourself over it. Wow, what uplifting words to live by.

Outside of Yuri’s wife “Ava” (Bridget Moynahan) and the man who pursues him, “Jack Valentine” (Ethan Hawke) no one in here has much in the way of high-ground morals. At least they made the lawman an honest; that’s rare in films today.

Jared Leto plays Cage’s brother “Vitaly” and plays his standard slime-ball character. Wow, this guy is becoming the male Jennifer Jason Leigh, regarding sleazy roles. Everyone was solid in here, from the Americans to the Russians the Africans….and all intriguing people. Ian Holm as rival arms dealer “Simeon Weisz” deserves mention.

Amir Mokri is the cinematographer and Andrew Niccol, the director, who combined to make this movie look so stylish and beautiful to see. Looking at Mokri’s resume, I see he’s done a number of stylish films. Niccol hasn’t directed much but what he has also offers interesting visuals.

Looking at the front and back cover of the DVD might make you think this is just another of these brainless action flicks, but it is not. This is solid film.
