Genadi

I gave this movie 2 stars - one for the special effects and such, there are a lot of those, although not the best I saw, its decent, and one for being a bit more original story than most movies now-days.

However this is where the good ends pretty much - all actors were amateurs, the storyline, while interesting - was inconsistent, and hard to get its "feel", even though a lot of time was spent at the opening, displaying a time-line of events - too bad it wasn't elaborate and detailed introduction.

Overall - get 80 minutes of extra sleep rather than see this movie, is my recommendation :)

Highly recommended movie. It shows the story via a monologue with the main actor (Nicolas Cage). It also gives very unique and inspiring perspective into the world of arms dealing, while in same time showing interesting conflicts the characters have, and how they cope (or don't cope) with them.

While being serious movie as Godfather, it has some comic scenes as well, which only adds to the movie while managing to keep the overall feeling real and serious.

Buttom line: If you like movies such as Godfather, Casino - you are guaranteed to like this one as well.

Enjoy :)

The movie was well done, well played by the actors. Storyline was good as well, it also touches about some society norms and questions their legitimacy, such as whether tattoos are good or bad? It also has good jokes, which suite the style of this movie well.

Only thing which annoyed me, is that the director or whoever edited it, has cut (I believe the scenes were filmed) scenes which showed some developing in story, which made it a bit harder to follow the story and understand what is going on. thats why 9 and not 10 :) Otherwise, its great movie, if you like quite romantic style movies.

Enjoy!
