Yuri Orlov had a dream, not you average dream mind, because Yuri dreamed of becoming a successful arms dealer. Many years later Yuri has achieved this dubious ambition and is living the high life, but even though the need for his particular talent continues to expand Yuri is beginning to have doubts, his conscience increasingly prodded by a relentless law enforcer, his younger brother and a hitherto oblivious but now horrified wife. Lord Of War is at its heart an action thriller, which tries hard to wonder at the morality behind such a heinous business through the eyes of man who sees himself not as a facilitator of genocide but simply an individual providing a service. In this secondary ambition the film stumbles, but Lord Of War looks great, has a convincing central performance from Cage and while it cops out on the deeper undertones it's still pretty superior fare.
