Ugh - what a mess - no shocker here why it bombed in the theaters. The concept is cool - Nicholas Cage as an international weapons dealer. The cinematography was pretty good. But the writing, directing and editing truly sucked balls. No reason to watch this unless Cage makes you drool. ---

Im glad the writing, editing and directing sucked because the only way I was going to MAYBE see this movie was with the hope that all of that is good. God I hate nicholas cage. One of the most overrated actors imo. ---

I am glad to see most of you enjoyed the movie. I have yet to see it. I like Nick Cage so i am sure even if the movie were to suck, I would still watch it. ---
