Movie Review by AJ 
April 14th, 2006

This movie has potential greatness oozing from every frame...it's just that Niccol misuses it. After a great opening dialogue from Nicolas Cage, followed by a clever opening credits sequence that tracks a bullet from its birth to its deployment and eventually to its use, the film sinks into a kind of rhythmic mediocrity. It has panache, it has style, but it doesn't work. The first half of Lord of War is almost unbearable, even with the always-entertaining Cage. The second half fares much better, but Niccol does something here that Cage's gunrunning Yuri Orlov never would've: He brings the big guns in too late.
