Reviews

88
Roger Ebert
A bleak comedy, funny in a "Catch-22" sort of way, and at the same time an angry outcry against the gun traffic.

Kirk Honeycutt
Cage is brilliant.

Variety
Robert Koehler
Brimming with cinematic confidence, cynicism, chutzpah plus dramatic bungles, Andrew Niccol's ambitious Lord of War views today's international arms trade through its anti-hero.
70
The A.V. Club
Keith Phipps
Lord Of War charges bravely and relentlessly into volatile territory, and it's hard to leave unscarred by the experience.

Dallas Observer
Robert Wilonsky
It's this moralizing, this slamming down of a stop sign every time the movie wants to rev its engines, that keeps Lord of War from being great. But it's three-fourths of a great movie, if nothing else, it has more brains and balls than most studio releases, for which it's to be commended and recommended.
