On "Lord of War"

I really should have know better than to expect something from a movie where Nicholas Cage is cast (I'm still waiting for my "Con Air" and "Face/Off" letters of apology), but I had enjoyed Gattaca and The Truman Show and so I was hoping that Andrew Niccol's "Lord of War" would be a decent flick. It wasn't. Took ages to get to where it was going. What a disappointment.
