Release Dates: 2005 Running Time: 122 minutes Formats: DVD Starring: Nicolas Cage, Jared Leto, Ethan Hawke, Bridget Moynahan, Eamonn Walker Directed By: Andrew Niccol Produced By: Nicolas Cage, Andrew Niccol, Chris Roberts, Teri-Lin Robertson, Phillippe Rousselet Written By: Andrew Niccol Lord of War is a movie with a message. There isn`t anything wrong with that, and there can be a great deal right with it, especially if in the process of delivering that message, the movie tells us something true and worthwhile about the issues involved, and entertains us along the way. The message of Lord of War is that guns are bad, people who sell them are even worse, and that international arms dealers are to blame for much of the carnage and horror in the world, because they give bad people the means to kill other people, usually with the connivance of the American government. `Lord Of War` is a cynical, yet not heartless and probably accurate portrayal of an American `secondary market` international weapons dealer. Yuri globe-trots the world scooping up fantastic deals on abandoned and obsolete weaponry and peddles it off to third world countries where demand for blooldshed is high. His biggest competitor, he likes to joke, is The President of The United States. So you get a heavy dose of good-humored anti-war subtleties, with a highly entertaining movie thrown in for good measure.
