Reviews


88
Chicago Sun-Times - 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.
80
The Hollywood Reporter - Kirk Honeycutt
Cage is brilliant.
80
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.
70
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.
