Re: Lord of War
I saw this on Friday with a couple of my friends form work and all of us found the movie pretty boring. As one of them was saying, it couldn't make up its mind whether it wanted to be a documentary or a movie - and large sections of it feel lifted straight out of 'Good Fellas'. It wasn't that the subject material wasn't interesting - the movie just could have used about a thirty minute chop and some better editing in general. Also, without the strong performance by Cage I think this movie would have completely fallen apart.
It's also a bit preachy - given that the audience Nicoli is likely to wrangle in with this movie already knows and agrees with his points he probably could have presented a much better story without the heavy handedness.
