Lord of War (15) US 122 mins
---------------------------------------
Andrew Niccol's film is powered by a
righteous anger, but it is also very
funny, stylish and daring.
Relentlessly well-written, each line of
Nicolas Cage's voiceover is exquisitely
crafted. Yet the dialogue is both a big
strength and a peculiar weakness.
It's so cutting and clever the action
never feels like life: the characters
aren't given enough space to breathe.
That is what stops this being a great
film. But it's still a good and timely
one that's sure to make an impact.
