Based on actual events, this black action-thriller stars Nicholas Cage as international arms smuggler Uri Orlov with humble beginnings as a Soviet immigrant in 1970s Brooklyn, to his involvement in selling off the stockpiled arsenal of post-Cold War Ukraine to, among other top clients, the sadistic African dictator André Baptiste, Sr...

Think of any mediocre movie about the drugs business, if you can't think of a mediocre movie about drugs, imagine 'Scarface' only with Shane Ritchie in the lead role, now substitute guns for the drugs - this is the movie you can buy here, if you really want to.
I'm not sure what has happened to Nic Cage of late. He has generally been a bit crap (see The Wicker Man remake). However, compared to the rest of his recent efforts, this film is actually really good. Cage plays an arms dealer who sort of has a mid-life crisis. The film charts his rise to become the biggest arms dealer in the world but also shows the reality of how guns can affect the lives of people in the Third World. It makes you chuckle but also manages to make you think about the consequences. Well worth a look.
When I saw this advertised I was a little sceptical about it but when I watched it I was hooked!!!
It's a great film that highlights how twisted and corrupt governments are as well as showing to and extent how the black market really works.
A great film and really interesting would recommend buying it to anyone!!!
I have spoken to some friends about this film and they don't like it. I'm sorry but I can't see where they're coming from. This is a really good Nic Cage movie which just keeps you watching the screen. The chemistry between Cage's morally bereft arms dealer and Hawke's idealistic agent is great and forms a great deal of the plot. You're kept guessing right until the end whether he can give up this way of life for the sake of his family but I'll leave you to find that one out. I can totally recommend this film - one of my favourites.
This film is simply one of the best films ever, it is funny and action packed and contains (in my opinion) the funniest and best actor ever Nicolas Cage. The movie is ideal for people who love a good laugh and enjoy action!!!
Seriously this movie is funnier than any of the simpsons.
