Tombstone was fantastic - although how much of it he directed is open to question.

I had totally forgotten Tombstone. I agree, brilliant movie.

Wasn't the Cage film 'Lord of War'?

I could give more insight into the director that is G P Cosmatos, but it would not be relevant to this folder and would involve a great deal of colourful language.

Suffice to say he owes a great to deal of his best scenes to many a first and second unit director.

Yes [apologies for late response] I think you're right... an underrated film but very worth seeing!

I have read most of Frederick Forsythe's books,and The Dogs Of War is the only I was glad to finish!

Not much chance. Master Thatcher is in enough poo as it is. Mercenary deeds are far too high profile at the moment - which is a shame, for the ordinary people of Zimbabwe.

They could always set the remake there.

God, I wish I could direct that film.
