Lord of War (2005)
Director: Andrew Niccol
Movie review
From Time Out New York
One man's black-market payday is another's death sentence in this satire from Andrew Niccol (Gattaca), which traces the rise and rise of small-time arms dealer Yuri Orlov (Cage). When the Eastern Bloc's era of détente turns the Russian army's stockpile into a fire sale—we got Kalashnikovs! we got tanks! everything must go!—Yuri literally becomes number one with a bullet. Niccol is no stranger to hot-button issues, but he outdoes his previous efforts by injecting this satire of war profiteering in the Halliburton age with a wicked arsenic wit..Author: DF
