So, I ended up watching Nick Cage in 'Lord of War'. Now there is nothing remarkable about Cage's performance.. in fact this role was remarkably reminiscent of his role in 'Weatherman'. He is competent and does a first person narrator role quite well. But nothing great. The script was pretty nice, however. Some really nice cinematography, or rather good editing. Pretty face Ethan Hawke has brought nothing new to his Interpol agent character.. there are shades of Precinct 13 as well as Training Day in his acting. The real star of the movie is Jared Leto, who plays Cage's troubled and cocaine addled brother; the only person with something resembling a decent character, which he brings a lot of life to. See this movie: quite an eye opener about the worldwide gun running business.
