Seen Any Good Films Lately?

I’ve seen a lot of good movies recently and one of them is “Lord of War”.

The movie is about the Ukrainian immigrant dealer Yuri Orlov (Nicolas Cage). He is living a poor life in Little Odessa, USA, and one day he decides to change his economical situation. He becomes an arm dealer together with his little brother Vitaly (Jared Leto).

They start of with dealing arms to local mobsters, but this is not enough for Yuri. With the end of the Cold War he sees his chance to buy weapons cheap from a corrupted Russian officer. He supplies the illegal weapons to disturbed areas around the world. You follow his journey from a poor immigrant to a well-known arms dealer.

The movie has a good story with some really good actors. So if you are looking for a crime/drama movie this is one that I strongly recommend.

Hi,
I´ve actually seen this movie. And it is as you say really good. I also recommend it. It is in some strange way laughable amusing even if death and guns are in it.
Best regards,
Helén

Hey Steven!

I haven't seen this movie and I've actually not even heard of it.
I enjoyed your post and got inspired to see the movie.
Well written, short and sweet.
