Lord of War Impressive performances, fascinating info-bytes and pertinent editorial, it feels too much like an illustrated lecture. Lord Of War drops the hammer slowly, laying out the fascinating parameters of Cage's world before opening up its argument in an astonishing denouement. Carefully choreographed devil's dance in which Nicolas Cage finds fleet-footed rejuvenation as a man aware evil can't exist without good, but that evil often wins. This uniquely unsympathetic, world-weary film earns the right to fling that truth. owe-red by a righteous anger, it is also very funny, stylish and daring. The morbidly fascinating subject and Cage's reptilian performance hold our interest. Unlike most Hollywood movies being made today, Lord of War actually has something to say.This film entertained me throughout, but it also provided me with a truly insightful look at the amoral world of trading man-killers.
