Reviews
|
Chicago Sun-Times -
A bleak comedy, funny in a "Catch-22" sort of way, and at the same time an angry outcry against the gun traffic.
|
|
The Hollywood Reporter -
Cage is brilliant.
|
|
Variety -
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.
|
|
The A.V. Club -
Lord Of War charges bravely and relentlessly into volatile territory, and it's hard to leave unscarred by the experience.
|
|
Dallas Observer -
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.
