Lord of War

I liked this movie, however, in case you haven’t seen it or only saw it on DVD, the transfer of the film in this format is presented in 1:85, however, when the film was shot and shown in theaters the aspect ratio is 2:35:1. That said, this transfer annoyed the *bejeezus* out of me. It wasn’t bad like pan & scan, but just seemed like all the shots were cramped.

If a correct transfer comes out, I highly recommend this film. If not, and you’re in the mood for a good Nic Cage movie rent this.

If you liked “Air Force One” you’ll like this. You might like it better if you’re over 60. Solid, well-made film that will be lost in shuffle of Ford's films during any tribute. If you’re a fan of Harrison Ford, Paul Bettany, and/or Virginia Madsen it’s worth the 2 hours just to see it as part of his body of work.
