Professionally, Spritz is on the top of the world, but his personal life is in complete disarray. His painful divorce, his dad's illness and trouble with his kids have him poised on the knife's edge between stability and disaster. The harder he tries to control events, the more he finds life, like the weather, is completely unpredictable.

Not a huge Nick Cage fan, but this looks good. He surprised me very much in Lord of War.

I really like the Iggy Pop song in the trailer.

seems to me that they are mismarketing this movie as a comedy like they did Sideways.... I came into that movie thinking it was going to be funny, even though it has some funny scenes it wasn't a comedy.

My fiance has sheer and utter hatred for Nick Cage. To this day I have no idea why

I'll say this, she loves the commerical for this movie where Cage is continually being pelted with garbage.

Lord of War is a very good movie. It really inspires some good discussion.

Lord of War is a very good movie. It really inspires some good discussion.

Absolutely does. It takes on the whole 'superpower can do no wrong' idea and does so without overt America bashing. It bashes the OTHER big nations of the world too. Excellent film!

I just watched it. I thought that Cage nailed the role. He’s one the of the best actors out there right now. Pretty good movie.

I really didn't like this movie at all, but Cage played the role dead-on.
