Lord of War (2005)

[Movie 26 / Day 12]


An excellent movie based on true events, following Yuri Orlov as he builds his business and becomes one of the biggest freelance arms dealers in the world.

Nicolas Cage puts in a brilliant performance as Orlov and is supported by a solid cast, including Ethan Hawke, Jared Leto and Bridget Moynahan.

I absolutely loved the opening sequence, following a bullet all the way from manufacture to firing, and also the scene where a plane is stripped overnight.

My rating: 8.2 / 10
IMDB rating: 7.7 / 10
Running time: 122 mins
