I just saw this film last night. Even tho it was a fictionalized story, parts of it reminded me of the book "Charlie Wilson's War" (about the US financing of the Afghans when they were fighting the Soviets). Powerful and disturbing movie. I think the parts about Africa could have been put in better context--and some of those depictions were not without problems. But in general I found it to be well done, including the family dynamics between the Cage character and his brother.

Anyone else see it?

I haven't seen this picture but as a rabid "Lord of the Rings" fan, its title commands my attention. LOL. Seriously, I believe this movie is available on the On Demand roster of my cable TV. Maybe I'll check it out.

YvetteP
you have to admit that the opening film credits mixed in with the life of the bullet was slick!

i gave it 5 out of 10... with 10 being the highest. YveteP there haven't been too many good movies that have come out lately.
