I guess things in this life are easier than I thought. Wars and conflicts are a normal day to day fact, and are a necessity for the wellbeing of others.

He convinces his brother to join him and they start searching for bigger profits by selling in the conflict zones. Yuri provided every army except the Salvation Army. Jack Valentine is an agent working for Interpol. He plays by the book and is perseverant in achivieing his goals on stopping the gun smugglers. Yuri at one transaction gets in exchange cocaine instead of money, and he and Vitaly, his brother, get high. The only problem is that Vitaly gets addicted and Yuri continues doing what he does best, alone. Jack is getting closer and closer but he doesn’t do anything but slow Yuri down for a wile…
I read a couple of articles about this movie and I didn’t figure out if it is made after a true story but I am sure that some things really happen. I think that the best part of the movie is that it actually shows the life of a business man in an industry in which you have to be cold blooded.
