Ratings and reviews

I am a fan of Nicholas cage. I also like my gritty reality 'real' and this film is much too contrived in nature to be believable. I could list all of the scenes that made me want to stop watching but there are too many. I managed to stick it out till the end but only just.

Its funny how all the people that gave this film a 1-3 star rating, have either poor grammar or spelling lol. Just goes to show the kind of person. And since when has Nicolas cage been in a super real nitty gritty film any way ( to the people moaning about how unrealistic this is). This is what you expect when you see his name. A fun, slightly real, a bit over the top and black comedy. 4-5 stars is a perfect reflection of this film. Enjoy it while its 99p

Seriously loved this film and people saying its not realistic yes it is gun running is a very important industry and its what kept the IRA going for years so please if you dont like this movie dont watch it
