"King of War"

The profound irony of "The King of War" has made the "King of War" powerful in depth. The film uses sensational themes as the cut-in, and uses the perspective of an arms dealer to present the crux of the war in the dark and humorous play. Where, the exhibition of humanity and justice are both self-evident in the wonderfully structured war reflection, this is the most amazing work of Nicolas Cage's acting skills.

The text of the last scene of the film is particularly interesting, to the effect that the world arms market continues, but the largest arms seller is still the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council.
