Lord of War (DVD)

This is one of my favorite Nicholas Cage movies. It chronicles an immigrant that works his way into one of the biggest arms dealers in the country and world outside of a government. The movie is loosely based on the true story of how he does it. Although not 100% accurate it's still a great watch. The story is very well written. It's the great American dream story. Work hard and there's nothing this country won't give you. Cage and Leto really earned a Oscar bid but seeing how the Academy only gives it to movies that meets all of their little boxes and needs them all checked you will never see great movies with great actors, a great story and scored with great music ever get a nod much less ever an Academy Award.
