    Its entertaining, lots of cool shots, very slick. Cage is like the James Bond of the arms trade world so in dealing with a topic that is a terrible blight on civilisation it is very tongue in cheek and not very gritty. Or thats how I found it.

    very good film, shows the flash life of an international arms dealer, but also shows the downside, the resultant chaos of the arms dealers trades, the impact on his family and their conscience or lack thereof for the dealer who needs to be that way to be succesful in their job.

    I really enjoyed it, usually hate Nicolas Cage but he put up an excellent performance in this.

    are watched the first hour of it on saturday, got really bored so i flicked over to Football First. I expected a lot more, given what i had heard about it. Just found it really boring and un-engaging.

    T'was a good film I thought, however football imo would be the epitome of really boring and un-engaging.

    I think the film plays out well showing Nick cage come from a run of the mill gun dealer to a international arms dealer.
