A Sociopath on the edge
3 of 4 found this helpful The most important rule of gun-running is: Never get shot with your own merchandise.An arm dealer (Nicholas Cage) confronts the morality of his work as he being chased by Interpol agent (Ethan Hawke).This movie charts the rise and fall of Yuri Orlov,from his early days in the early 1980s in Little Odessa,selling guns to mobsters in his local neighborhood,through to his ascension through the decade of excess and indulgence into the early 90s,where he forms a business partnership with an African warlord and his psychotic son.The movie also charts his relationship through the years with his younger brother,his marriage to a famous model,his relentless pursuit by a determined federal agent and his inner demons that sway between his drive for success and the immorality of what he does.

Lighten Up People
3 of 8 found this helpful Lighten up.This was a good movie.If you want to read the book,read the book.There is no way to give the same attention to detail in a movie as in a 870 page (paperback edition) book.The action was non-stop,and as far as character development,aren't these the same three (Harry,Hermione,and Ron)main characters as in the first three movies? So,I will say it again Lighten up and just take the film for what it is; "A Good Movie".

Boring and Drabby
2 of 3 found this helpful I played this game when it first came out,I was expecting something fun and exciting.Instead,what I got was a walk and shoot type of game.That's all you do in this game.You walk,crouch,shoot,wait for animated cut-scenes and that's it.There is no creativity to this game.No challenge,no nothing.This game is boring with a capital "B". The graphic are not even that good,this game was made like the developers were drunk or in a hurry.If you do like this series though,you might wanna considered renting it or buy it as a used game.
