Reviews in German: "A watchable performance from Nicolas Cage provides the firepower for this uneven black comedy about arms-dealing. Cage plays Yuri, a Ukrainian-American arms dealer, hassled by an idealistic Interpol agent played by Ethan Hawke. �There are 550million weapons in circulation globally, one for every 12 people on the planet,� Yuri tells us. �The question is, how do we arm the other 11?� After the Cold War, Yuri uses his old-country connections to bribe disgruntled ex-Soviet army brass who -- in return for suitcases full of dollars -- allow vast amounts of their un-inventoried armaments to go walkies, to be sold by Yuri to West African war lords. Along the way, Yuri acquires a massive Manhattan apartment, a trophy wife and, like his reprobate brother Vitaly (Jared Leto), a cocaine habit. Cage carries the movie. That great equine face persuasively suggests a man who, every day, hands over another little piece of his soul to Beelzebub." -- Peter Bradshaw Mail&Guardian 2005)

"Selten wurde die schmutzige Grauzone des gobalisierten Marktes so direkt, so drastisch, so abgeklärt-cool vorgeführt und mit allen Schikanen des Actionfilms ausgestattet wie hier. Dass in diesem kalten Film ohne Helden kein amerikanisches Geld steckt, glaubt man - und weiss es in diesem Fall zu schätzen." (TV Spielfilm)
