Lord of War
Follow the exploits of Yuri Orlov (Nicolas Cage), international arms dealer, who is a shrewd businessman selling weapons to many of the world’s most notorious dictators and evading the pursuit of the relentless Interpol agent (Ethan Hawke). Instead of being the traditional action flick, “Lord of War” turns out to be an antiwar film using true historical facts to emphasize it points. This drama with a hint of trying to be a dark comedy is rated “R” for strong violence, drug use, language, and sexual content. The film artistically opens by following the journey of a single bullet from its manufacture to its distribution to its final resting place in the body of its intended target. Alien also enjoyed the cash register “ka-chings” blended into sound of rapid machine gun fire.
Alien gives it 2 ½ “Farewell to Arms” stars out of 4.

The movie was great. Guns don't kill people...bullets do.
It layouts somekind of the process of what the internatinal arm dealer deals with countries that are in war.
This 'Load of War' or WarLord? (whatever)has some little comedy about how fast the plane and its cargo disappear when it lands in unexpected landing lane.
I aggree with Alien that this movie is rated "R" for strong violence. I will give 3 stars out of 4.
