It's difficult to categorize Lord of War, the newest release from Gattaca director (and The Terminal writer) Andrew Niccol about an underground arms dealer's rise from rags to riches. Nicolas Cage plays Yuri, a Ukrainian munitions mogul chased by an Interpol agent (Ethan Hawke, who tries really hard but never actually does anything.) Yuri is the typical Cage anti-hero -- see Matchstick Men and Con Air -- who only looks virtuous when he's standing next to his gun-toting clients.
