Synopsis: The life of an arms dealer.
Appraisal: Once you abandon all hopes for (a) formal sophistication or originality; (b) exciting action; and (c) psychological depth, then maybe, even probably, you will enjoy 'Lord of War' a little. It is hard not to, because (i) its theme is relevant, (ii) it's done its homework in subject research, and (iii) it exposes some interesting aspects of recent world history in a reasonably entertaining way. But for the reasons (a), (b) and (c) above, it is also hard to enjoy it more than a little.
