Lord of war

"There are over 500 million fire arms in the worldwide circulation
That is one fire arm for every twelve people on the planet
The only question is: How do we arm the other eleven?"

The movie starts with this storming dailogue. This is the story of Uri Orlov, an arms dealer who doesnt want to come out of it not because he like it, but he is good at it. A movie with cool dialogues after The Matrix. Thinking of the story line, there is nothing much. He wraps the whole story in the first scene itself. It is just a movie about his life. No thriller or heroism. Its just what happened. The dialogues were so brilliant, that it makes us feel that though he is selling arms that kills people, he is not a villian at all.

More dialogues like "How many car salesman talk about their work.huh? How many cigarette saleman? Both their products kill more people every year than mine. At least, mine has safety switch." makes you believe him to the core.

I was amazed more on the dialogues than on the movie. But there were disturbing scenes too. Actually they were the most disturbing scenes. Killing or to say it right, slaughter that happens in Africa and the amount of weapons Soviet Union had gathered during the cold war were too much to digest.

The character of Uri Orlov was portrayed too good that he is a villian disguised as a hero, but you never understand the villian part of him. He looks innocent though he is the main source supplier of the guns used in eight out of top ten war zones in the world. He says "I don't put a gun to anybody's head and make them shoot." and it even convinces most of us. He doesnt kill any people. Does he?

Of course, the final dialogues were also interesting. "I would have told you to go to hell. But I see you are already in it."

A great movie with cool dialogues that can deceive your mind from whats right and whats wrong.

Trivia: The movie has A.R.Rehman's Mumbai theme music. I was surpirsed and shocked hearing it. Wondered if hollywood copies from kollywood too. But to prove its hollywood, they had got the permission from Universal music for using the theme music.
