60 of 159 · most liked firstOne of my favorites movies is Lord of War, not because of the movie itself, but because everything involved in the production is absolutely insane.
positive · AI labelView post →I... did not have "Nicolas Cage doing a legasequel to 'LORD OF WAR'" on my bingo sheet but - sure, yea, that was a good movie, why not? 🤷♂️ deadline.com/2026/04/nico...
positive · AI labelView post →#NowWatching Lord of War (2005) Dir: Andrew Niccol An arms dealer confronts the morality of his work as he is being chased by an INTERPOL Agent.
neutral · AI labelView post →But I literally have to go back to LORD OF WAR in 2005 for a performance from Leto which doesn't detract from the movie he's in. He is a showy, look-at-me Method actor of the worst sort. (11)
negative · AI labelView post →The opening credits for LORD OF WAR are literally the only part of that movie worth watching or remembering. And even that, they kind of ruin with the corny soundtrack.
negative · AI labelView post →Trying to correct them is as futile as trying to understand. In the movie "Lord of War", Nicolas Cage's character says: "They say, "Evil prevails when good men fail to act." What they ought to say is, "Evil prevails". Sednaya, even burning in the photo behind me, is also a triumph of this evil. 3/3
neutral · AI labelView post →Cage is also really great in Peggy Sue Got Married, Con Air, Adaptation (of course), Mom and Dad, Lord of War, Bad Lieutenant… but mostly the thing I like is that when he shows up in a movie I basically do not know what will happen
positive · AI labelView post →Who the hell is Viktor Bout? He's a Russian arms dealer depicted by Nic Cage in the alright-in-a-sort-of-a-limited-way-for-an-off-night movie Lord of War www.imdb.com/title/tt0399...
neutral · AI labelView post →Lord of War is the greatest movie Nicholas Cage ever did and it still holds up just as well 20 years later. youtu.be/WorIVrZX2uE
positive · AI labelView post →I will never forget the movie Lord of War in which they have one of the bad guys (played by Eamonn Walker) talk about how Bush stole the election, and it means they cannot accuse him of rigging elections. "with your Florida and your Supreme Court of Kangaroos, now, the U.S. will shut up forever!"
neutral · AI labelView post →movie recommendation: Lord of War dir: Andrew Niccol a movie that doesn't get enough love, a Nic Cage classic helmed by a good director, when he chooses to be, is a favorite of my brother and i; one we watched every Friday night for over a year. a human/brotherly story with great scenes filmsky 📽️🎥
positive · AI labelView post →In the movie Lord of War, the Dictator of Liberia commended Bush and the "Supreme Court of Kangaroos" for legitimizing his own corrupt regime through vote stealing shenanigans via the scrotus. You don't have to "hand it to them"
neutral · AI labelView post →This is the kind of institutional rot that was endemic to the fall of the Soviet Union. It's the basis for the whole 2005 Nicolas Cage film, "Lord Of War," which by ancient & sacred covenant is the irrefutable & authoritative dissertation on that subject.
positive · AI labelView post →LORD OF WAR is spiritually a Hideo Kojima film
neutral · AI labelView post →Excited to see Weapons today, the long awaited (and #1 movie at the box office) Lord of War origin story.
neutral · AI labelView post →If anyone remembers the Soviet block countries after the fall of the wall will remember how notoriously corrupt Russia was. It was touched on in the movie Lord of War. What is happening here is worse. Way worse and they are just getting started.
neutral · AI labelView post →Lord of War (2005) Written/directed by Andrew Niccol Staring Nicolas Cage, Jared Leto, Bridget Moynahan, Ian Holm and Ethan Hawke www.youtube.com/watch?v=J9UM...
neutral · AI labelView post →It was even featured in the movie Lord of War, referred to as "The Supreme Court of Kangaroos"

neutral · AI labelView post →The credits of Lord of War should have gotten an Oscar short film nomination
positive · AI labelView post →Name your fav Nicolas Cage film. 'Lord of War'
positive · AI labelView post →The Mayor of NYC just got compared to an illegal arms dealer nicknamed the Merchant of death and the inspiration for the movie The Lord of War.
neutral · AI labelView post →There is one movie I like with Jared Leto in it, Lord of War, and that's because it's a Nic cage flick
positive · AI labelView post →Lord of War was amazingly written by Niccol and shot by Amir mokri,first half was a slog but man,the movie is so goddamn quotable and pyrrhic The ending man,the worst people in the world truly but damn is the movie compelling.
neutral · AI labelView post →Lord of War has my favorite piece of movie trivia. The producers bought thousands of real AK47s because they were cheaper than props
neutral · AI labelView post →Rough (unranked) draft of best opening scenes in film: Children of Men Inglorious Basterds The Dark Knight 8 1/2 Raiders of the Lost Ark Super Troopers Watchmen Lord of War Office Space 2001 The Space Odyssey Lion King The Player Lost Highway Blade Runner Stalker
positive · AI labelView post →I feel like we peaked in 2005 in a movie where Nicolas Cage is an absolute cock and Leto gets gunned down (Lord of War).
positive · AI labelView post →I suppose this is my Leto weigh-in: I won't go to see any movie with him in it and thankfully they are all kind of meh now. But I would be gutted if it meant I never saw Lord of War or Requiem for a Dream, although the latter is strictly on my "don't need to watch that ever again" list.
positive · AI labelView post →This is probably going to sound like a weird pair, but for me it's a tie between Lord of War and the first Ghost Rider. LoW because it's probably the most reserved/calm I've ever seen him in any movie, and Ghost Rider just because he just...goes full Nic Cage.😂
positive · AI labelView post →Press TV (Iranian government TV) had to interrupt their normal programming: an interview with Viktor Bout, “a seasoned Russian businessman and politician”. Viktor Bout was the archetype for the movie Lord Of War. He is an arms smuggler.
neutral · AI labelView post →Without saying Leaving Las Vegas, fav Nicolas Cage film? Lord of War
positive · AI labelView post →Lord of War is a very underrated movie and Nic Cage absolutely pulls it off Ethan Hawke, as well, really shines
positive · AI labelView post →Fuck it: the Andrew Niccol kick continues. Time to revisit Lord of War, the movie almost as cynical as I am.
positive · AI labelView post →If you have never seen the movie "Lord of War" Why not? Here is the opening song.. www.youtube.com/watch?v=I4TO...
neutral · AI labelView post →True, the only feel-bad movie where I'm willing to tolerate Jared Leto is Lord of War.
positive · AI labelView post →God Lord of War was such a rad movie.
positive · AI labelView post →"But how will I protect my family from a tyrannical government no longer bound by checks and balances?" the chud crouched in a basement packed floor to ceiling with enough firepower to make the 2005 Nicholas Cage film Lord of War weep, surrounded by Gadsen and thin blue line flags wheezed.
neutral · AI labelView post →A kraven movie should be a mix of Lord of War and The Protector from the bad guys pov
neutral · AI labelView post →I'm having flashbacks to the Lord of War movie again yes. The weapon of revolutionaries. I'm afraid in a couple of years one of the seceding 'states' will put it on a flag.
neutral · AI labelView post →Oh god, the former is genuinely amazing and the latter slipped past most everyone but it is the most Cagey movie ever possibly. Also Lord of War is genuinely good.
positive · AI labelView post →This is amazing. They did a 22 years late sequel to the brilliant Lord of War that’s a cheap looking action movie and…got Nicolas Cage back…and it’s from the exact same writer/director. … WHY
negative · AI labelView post →I thought Lord of War was fine, but that was mostly Nicholas Cage's film tbh and Leto was only in a few scenes. But yeah, otherwise he's like the King Midas of shite
neutral · AI labelView post →Watching the movie Lord of War (2005), it's good so far but when does Kratos show up?
neutral · AI labelView post →Reminds me of the 2005 Nicolas Cage film, The Lord of War.
neutral · AI labelView post →Cage is an incredibly talented actor who just finds it easier and more fun to play a weirdo goof most of the time... and I can't totally blame him? (Also +1 to Lord of War being the movie that left me very impressed with Cage)
positive · AI labelView post →2000s (00-09) movie draft. You get one in each category, my picks included. Drama: Lord of War Action/adventure: Fellowship of the Ring Horror: 28 Days Later Comedy: Blades of Glory Romance: Definitely, Maybe Oscar Winner: Return of the King
neutral · AI labelView post →The Nicolas Cage movie The Lord of War comes to mind. A PBS News dive into weapons tracking by the U.N. where the largest arms dealer in the world was and is the United States. Interpol had no power to bring charges against any one proliferating an arms race.
neutral · AI labelView post →I still think the only time I've ever seen Jared Leto in a film and thought he was well cast was Lord of War, where... he plays a coked-out fail-brother who dies ignomiously.
positive · AI labelView post →I just finished re #nowwatching Lord of War (2005) and it's a 10/10 film even with Jared Leto imo
positive · AI labelView post →I like LORD OF WAR but that movie getting a 20 years later sequel is weird. variety.com/2025/film/gl...
positive · AI labelView post →ThirtyTwentyTen Sept. 12-18: Movies recommended this week: ▫️Angus (rental) ▫️Clockers (aaa) ▫️Hackers (good bad movie, ggg) ▫️Lord of War (hoopla, Roku, plex) ▫️Black Mass (rental) ▫️Everest (rental) ▫️Classic Corner: Darling (not streaming🤬), Panic in the Streets (rental)
neutral · AI labelView post →If Lord of War isnt a classic movie then why is it in every mans DVD collection in the 2010s between the hangover and blood diamond?
neutral · AI labelView post →ruin a classic movie by casting jared leto as a character. Lord Of War
neutral · AI labelView post →The box-office star I know so well as.. The worst Joker? The brother in Lord of War? The guy who didn't say "It's Morbin' Time" in the movie nobody watched? Or, of course, the allegations of him being a rapey scumbag.
neutral · AI labelView post →Lord of War. Really great movie honestly.
positive · AI labelView post →You have to ask the “why”…. Who else does it involve… who exactly did Epstein help and with what did they help…. Close 30 USA military bases and we have the opening scenes from LORD OF WAR or WAR INC. and picking either movie would not be any “less” entertaining.
neutral · AI labelView post →I have to judge the taste of someone on 3 movies I've never seen: He said the new superman was awful (watched as cam at work on phone) He most recent favorite film was Eternals (I don't think I heard anything good) and the most recent not superhero movie he liked was Lord of War?
neutral · AI labelView post →Lord of War. Obviously. Best opening sequence of any movie ever www.youtube.com/watch?v=VHn1...
positive · AI labelView post →If you see this, post a universally disliked movie that you think is great Not sure if "universally" disliked is accurate, but Lord of War certainly has it's haters, and I think it's one of Cage's best films.
