I think the best way to sum this movie up is Blow, with gun smuggling instead of Cocaine. Not at all what I expected, much better in fact, but I have not seen much press for the film in the first place. There is no way Hollywood would cut a trailer that would depict the real movie here as it is not the blockbuster action film that the summer movie crowd is looking for. It does have comedic points but all in all it is an examination of the underground gun smuggling starting in the 80’s and how it changed through the end of the cold war the fall of the Soviet Union. Nicholas Cage is excellent, as is Ethan Hawke I think we will see a few oscar nod here.
