Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for anyone interested in what war does to people and readers who like to compare the book and the screen version. It puts you in the middle of the fighting, and doesn't let you forget the cost. If you loved Idiocracy, start here. Adapted from a book, so readers can compare notes.
The mood
Provocative satire that goes after everyone.
The pace
Breezy, at 1 hr 39 min.
What might put you off
  • Rated PG: peril. Worth a look first if you have very young kids.
  • Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.

Arms dealers from several companies vie to sell the most expensive and highest tech weapons to a South American dictator. There are complications; understanding the exact nature of how 'gifts' are used to grease the wheels of a sale, a religious conversion from one of the salesman and a romance that begins to grow between two competitors.
