Lord of War is a brilliant political drama that's provocative and challenging. The story follows the rise of Yuri Orlov, as he gets into the gun trade and progresses to become an international arms dealer.

The cast is especially good, and includes Nicolas Cage, Bridget Moynahan, Ethan Hawke, and Jared Leto. The performances are all exceptional, but Cage's performance is truly outstanding. And the directing is also superb, doing an excellent job at exploring the complexity of the themes while also crafting a gripping character drama.

Lord of War is an extremely well-crafted film that's powerful and compelling.
