Genre Country Director Actor

Lord of War

Andrew Niccol, 2005

Film Description

Based on actual events, this black comedy-drama stars Nicholas Cage as international arms smuggler Uri Orlov, following him from his humble beginnings as a Soviet immigrant in 1970s Brooklyn through to his involvement in selling off the stockpiled arsenal of post-Cold War Ukraine. Written and directed by Andrew Niccol, the film makes fine use of the brisk stream-of-consciousness narration style that Martin Scorcese brought to the true crime genre with Goodfellas, and a near constant flow of action and classic rock songs ensures a speedy, riveting ride through three decades of global carnage. Cage, who coproduced, lets his patented oddball magnetism slowly change polarity, until viewers realise they've been led into a moral quagmire by falling for his self-delusory spiels about supply and demand.
