It's a really thought-provoking movie I think. I saw it with my elder brother and we were talking thru the night after then. How crimes, and criminals born to the world! Nicolas's role was so disgusting and disappointing but instead of feeling creepy - I like him. He carried out an outrageous person, but to my horror - he did it well. I wonder how he could dressed up this disguise and turned into a real blotch! Nowadays it is a very rarely type of the films. I've never seen such a politically provocative film - I was surprised when I heard that it was permitted. In general, from which we could learn is never done. But Nic did it. As Yuri Orlov, an illegal well-paid gun-runner, an adulterous husband, a liar, a real ash-can. He showed in our real, sordid world. Without make-up. No sugar-coat. Just the truth. I don't know how can I express it. We can't trust in anybody - even ourselves. This is the message. I wanna see more of these films. Carry on Nic!

I like your train of thought here about politics, but don't forget about the Druids. They played a huge part in early Freemasons if I am correct. I would not mind talking sometime further in regards to this if you would not mind.

I loved it because it was realistic. Todays movies are so unrealistic and all about kiss butts to make money. This one was not. It portrayed a very real situation, and not just one situation. Drugs, Diamond and Gun smuggling, Aides, Poverty, Family issues, greed ect!
I hated it because the movie was so perfectly done that I hated Yuri and what he stood for. It made me angry and ashamed of how greedy humans are. We truely are the worst thing that has ever happend to this planet and someday that greed will destroy our beautiful world. So I guess I hated it in a good way. Does that makes sense? LOL

I too enjoyed the movie. I appreciated the struggle between the character and his demons. It was interesting to see him loose all he loved...except his career (albeit a slimy career). I could only imagine the emptiness he felt as credits rolled.
My favorite scene was when he went to his hotel room and the 2 African sexy girls were there and he couldn't be with them and had to turn them away because of possible aids. I thought he was very cute and sexy.
I love the expression on his face when they are undressing him!!! Priceless!!!!!

I thought it was a great movie with a lot of cool scenes. One of my favorite scenes is when he goes to see his brother at the resturant at the start and he tasted the soup and he started gaging. Then they were talking about being dogs in life. Loved It :>
