Lord of War

Nic Cage back in a somewhat action movie genre. Cool.. but this is not u'r typical Nic Cage movie. I guess none of them really are typical Nic Cage movies.

Lets get to the meat of it, shall we ? Great.. The movie is about the making of a weapons trafficker. One who wants to become a Lord of sorts. Man plays a Ukrainian expat whose family moves from ex-Soviet Union to the Land of the Free. The family tries to hide their communist past by convincing people that they are Jewish. Basically, they transition from bad to worse in terms of ethnic situations.

Nicolas is sick of his life and decides to change it during a shoot-out he observes and decides to sell weapons and become a big fish in the industry. When he does decide to take up something so disturbing he drags in the one person he trusts the most his brother. Great when u'r ready to fuck up your life... You decide to make it a group event by dragging in your own flesh and freakin' blood.

He marries the model of his dreams, who unlike what we normally portray models to be is a wannabe housewife. Whaaaa... I would have loved to see him being dragged by some snot-nosed model.. It just makes sense. And the movie goes on...

What did I think of this? Fun movie, catchy dialogues and an interesting one watch. This definitely wasn't one of the best acting performance movie, but definitely a learning experience on how the criminal mind works and what it takes to really function and succeed at that level. I think the best thing a new and upcoming criminal can learn from this is the ability to divulge in their luxury lifestyle... Get a phat pad, chick of your dreams and partayyyyyyyyyyyyy.

Watch it become a criminal... If you succeed remember me :)
