Lord of War (15)
Mar 6 2006 By Graham Young, Birmingham Mail
PRODUCED by and starring Nicolas Cage as an international arms dealer, Lord of War unfolds like Moore's Bowling for Columbine, only on a larger scale.
The script memorably suggests that "the AK47 is the weapon of mass destruction...it's so simple even a child could use it...and they do."
It also points the finger at the 'biggest arms dealers in the world', who just happen to be members of the UN Security Council.
Lord of War is no great shakes at times as a drama, but the overall message is as alarming as the opening is shocking.
DVD extras include an Inside The International Arms Trade featurette, Nicolas Cage interview and deleted scenes.
