This film fails so miserably don't be surprised to find yourself often rooting against the supposed good guy.

There are the makings here of a really good feature or an even better documentary, but as it stands, Lord of War is not quite either.
September 24, 2005
A caustic satire masquerading as an action adventure.

Satire is rarely so hard-hitting, or high calibre.

The movie ultimately crushes itself in a vise of self-loathing.

A fine, grown-up movie, half thriller, half black comedy.

Even though Niccol sometimes puts unnecessary homilies in the mouths of his characters, he mostly pulls off the tricky feat of being direct and breezy at the same time. "Lord of War" skims along like a dance routine.

I'm beginning to get discouraged about Andrew Niccol.

Lord Of War drops the hammer slowly, laying out the fascinating parameters of Cage's world before opening up its argument in an astonishing denouement.
September 20, 2005
A raffishly ironic and insinuating movie -- and probably the most sheerly enjoyable film of the year so far.

Niccol is no stranger to hot-button issues, but he outdoes his previous efforts by injecting this satire of war profiteering in the Halliburton age with a wicked arsenic wit.

A carefully choreographed devil's dance in which Nicolas Cage finds fleet-footed rejuvenation as a man aware evil can't exist without good, but that evil often wins. This uniquely unsympathetic, world-weary film earns the right to fling that truth.
