Lord of War
Directed by Andrew Niccol
- EmperorAlexsanderJuly 18, 2025An absolute great film, Nicholas Cage is an all time classic actor. There wasn't a single moment that I wasn't engrossed and entertained, I love the common theme of these type of illegal enterprise media having the primary downfall always be the family, whether it's Breaking Bad, Lord of War or (Not really) Narcos. It is shot well, acted well and written well. (P.S. Can't believe we traded him for Brittney Griner)
- nullDecember 10, 2025A movie as immediately relevant today as it was upon its release back in 2005. I remember watching this one as a freshly minted 20 something year old veteran and feeling no sense of peace regarding the subject matter or the lack of resolution in the end. This film should be required reading (viewing?) for anyone who wants to profit from war.
