Movie #1 Lord of War

"There are over 550 million firearms in worldwide circulation. That's one firearm for every twelve people on the planet. The only question is: How do we arm the other 11? " This was said by Yuri Orlov and I happen to disagree completely with his logic, but it definitely made a pretty good action movie plot. The first film we watched was Lord of War with Nicholas Cage, this was one of the choices from my boyfriends list. The film is about Yuri Orlov who is a son to Ukrainian parents. His profession started by selling guns to mobsters in his neighborhood of Little Odessa to becoming an illegal arms dealer with his cocaine addicted brother.
They travel and sell to countries all around the world who are at war. One of his particular clients is a warlord in Africa who in the end turns out to cause him big trouble. There was always many women in his life, but he has one obsession, a model named Ava Fontaine. He becomes so obsessed with her that when he becomes a millionaire, he seduces her, lies to her about his job, and they get married and have a son. For many years Ava has no idea what Yuri is doing and he is cheating on her left and right. The end of the Cold War causes their gun sales to boom making them even more money. Off course the whole time he is being watched and trying to be caught by Jack Valentine, a detective. In the end Ava finds out who Yuri is and she and their son disappear. Detective Valentine also gives up on chasing Yuri because he comes to the realization that our nation needs someone to do the job and it might as well be Yuri. As for Yuri, he continues to sell illegal arms, sleep with women, and make millions.
Overall I have to say that I liked the movie.
My favorite type of film I would say would be comedy and horror, but for an action movie it was very good. It kept you interested the whole time. I would assume this would be very popular among guys, because of the guns, women, etc. If i had to rate it from1-10 I would give it a 7.
