Nicolas Cage (Yuri Orlov), Jared Leto (Vitaly Orlov),
Bridget Moynahan (Ava Fontaine), Ethan Hawke (Jack Valentine)
Andrew Niccol's satire on the arms dealing trade is too
scattered to connect meaningfully and can't quite decide on whether or not it's a black comedy or a political rant.
Nicolas Cage is rather miscast in the part and it's all
quite forgettable.
