Lord of War (2005) – 3/5
The first 20 mins feel like serious liberal propaganda to me: guns are bad and kill children and people who like them are only into money and don’t care, etc.
After that it’s a decent unfolding of events, but not the best story. It’s nice to watch though in the sense of shots and the international stage, etc.
I liked the feel of it, but it wasn’t helped by the rest of it: story, acting, etc. I felt like everyone was just reading lines.
Early on there were some decent symbolic shots w/ the docks making a cross and such, but it all felt too heavy-handed to me. I thought about noting some examples of my point, but soon there were too many.
