Everything Action Theater: Lord of War

You know, I think we completely neglected to mention Lord of War when we talked about Nicolas Cage movies in the second Everything Actioncast, which is a shame because it’s definitely one of his best movies.  Based on a combination of real gun smugglers Viktor Bout and Leonid Minin, the movie follows gun smuggler Yuri Orlov who starts out selling single guns around his neighborhood and eventually becoming the top arms dealer in the world, selling everything from pistols to tanks in war torn places like Africa and post Soviet countries.  Ethan Hawke co-stars as Interpol agent Jack Valentine.  It’s a great look into a world that isn’t really known and there’s quite a bit of action as well.  Check out the whole thing below, courtesy of Hulu.
