Cage war flick one to watch

Andrew Niccol’s Lord of War (Momentum, 21.99) is a fast-paced action film which touches all the right bases, even throwing in a political message to boot.

Nicholas Cage plays international arms dealer Yuri Orlov whose career path meets no obstacles until a few troublesome pests arrive on the scene, including an Interpol cop who proves incorruptible (NathanEthan Hawke) and his junkie brother (Jared Leto).
