Loved the movie so much I paid full price on Amazon. I love this movie for it's realistic and believable look at the irony of weapons dealing. It also points out the hypocrisy of certain democratic African countries. Also showed the hypocrisy of the USA that looks down on those countries. Also shows us there good people can do evil things when they have to.
I enjoyed the film and would rate it 4/5 stars. However, this review is of the product itself - the film's Blu-ray disc edition. I have a Sony receiver, and watched the (Sony!) Blu-ray disc on my Sony PS3.
The picture is great, but the sound mix is AWFUL. 50% of the time people are whispering their dialogue and you have to crank up the volume. The other 50% of the time, the soundtrack/explosions/other sound effects are so loud you have to really dial back the sound. It's as if the sound engineer had two buttons on his mixer - "quiet" and "loud" - with no dynamic range in between.
Watching this movie was like watching a television show that only included used car ads.... "whisper whisper BUY A NEW CAR NOW AT JOE'S CAR PALACE whisper whisper whisper."
Completely inexcusable. DO NOT BUY THIS EDITION.
