Lord of War
I highly recommend this movie. Nicolas Cage gives a wonderful performance as an arms dealer who survives by ignoring his own conscience, alongside a great supporting cast. It's tense and tightly paced, and manages to be both funny and disturbing throughout. It's based on real events, and it provides a fair amount of food for thought. A few turns of the plot are fairly predictable, but forgivably so. It's a frightening look at the seamy underbelly of world politics, told with a gangster-movie flair. The cinematography is amazing. Go see it!
