OK so I found this movie thinking it was soft porn. By the time I realized it wasn't I didn't even care. By the end of the movie I was nearly pissing myself laughing.
This is one of the most original, intelligent, funniest movies ever. It really shows how unrealistic our societies porno-saturated homophobic expectations of sex are. It'll make you extremely uncomfortable if you're a prude though.
I'm amazed I had never even heard of this, it must have been some huge distribution/advertisement mistake. It's a very well made movie. This is going into my collection of favorites right along with the works of Scorsese and Kubrick. This really is a masterpiece in it's own unique/raunchy/hilarious way.

...mixed in with some leftist propaganda all rolled up into a B grade gangster flick. There's really nothing else to say but there is a 10 line minimum to these reviews:
Cage starts out selling uzis to local gangsters and works his way up to selling helicopters to dictators. Along the way a few people get shot and some stuff blows up. Also: hookers and blow.
All of the fun stuff ends up taking a back seat to the real purpose of the film: to educate you on how slimy capitalists exploit third world countries and perpetuate violence.
I happen to agree with the message, but this is a horrible way of conveying it. It's totally oversimplified and very obviously biased. It may have been intended to open peoples eyes to the way the world really works but I found it hard to keep mine open.
tl;dr BORING POLITICAL PROPAGANDA DISGUISED AS ACTION FLICK
