Makes you sick to the stomach
The previews make it look like a gun runner with some good comic releif. Rather it is a story of a gun runner/war lord that does not beleive it is wrong to supply weapons (guns, tanks, rpg, ammo, etc.) to anyone. Sin is always present in this movie, whether it is in the form of violence, sex, lieing, drugs, murder (guy shot in the head at close range, brains splatter), or any combination of these. It is horrible from every perspective. The movie trys to make a point, but it gets lost amongs the sin.

An interesting film.
Worth seeing, but not my absouloute favorite (bring that down to 3 stars, please). For persons 13+ who can understand issues like violence and sex.

Good film with conflicting morals
A good film, that was based on tthe life of an arms dealer. He does what he has to claims it is "an evil, but a nessisary evil." And for many reasons he is right. It isn't very approprete for younger people, there is sex and nudity and some brutal genocide but it is overal a good film.

Compelling cautionary tale
Spectacular catuionary tale about how arms dealers are no different than those who use their weapons. It's a troubled look into a world that has no moral code and has no conscience. And by the end, As payment for Yuri's sins, he loses everyone and everything he ever cared about, because he places his worth in his sales-pitch skills, and is left at the end with nothing but his guns and his money, a sad alternative, the movie shows us. Yuri is repayed for ALL of his sins by the end of the movie, and it's clear that the filmakers are trying to show us that his lifestlye is a very bad idea. This movie rings true on EVERY level, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone who can handle the offensive content (some mildy R-rated sexual content, some violence, and strong language). .

talk to your kids before you decide them watch this
Lord of war is a good political thriller that delivers action,thrills,humour and relationships. Violence is realistic but still not over the top sex and other stuff is pretty much what you would expect in an r-rated movie. Also as your kids probaply have played counter strike and call of duty so they would likely love this film and how its told i dont care what other people say that the violence is graphic or not its a little bit harsher than you would expect a PG-13 movie. So if your kids are 13 and up feel free to watch them this movie

Very Mature
Bloody violence and graphic drug use is not for kids. Very mature material involving arms dealing.
