Pope Benedict the Evil decided to kick off his first papal tour of Africa by spouting more impractical nonsense and potentially lethal advice in the name of religion. On a continent under siege of an HIV epidemic, he thought it’d be helpful to discourage use of condoms to prevent further outbreak and even went as insanely far as laying the claim that the distribution of condoms worsens the AIDS crisis.

In this case, I’d give Pope Isadick more credit for worsening the crisis than anyone or anything else. So his godly advice boils down to: ‘Don’t use condoms; just don’t have sex.’ Yeah because that's going to work. Leave it to the church to come up with rules that don't stand apply to the real world.

Synopsis:

[from IMDB]

This film charts the rise and fall of Yuri Orlov, from his early days in the early 1980s in Little Odessa, selling guns to mobsters in his local neighbourhood, through to his ascension through the decade of excess and indulgence into the early 90s, where he forms a business partnership with an African warlord and his psychotic son. The film also charts his relationship through the years with his younger brother, his marriage to a famous model, his relentless pursuit by a determined federal agent and his inner demons that sway between his drive for success and the immorality of what he does.

WhattheFAK Movie Review:

A great movie showing the nustiness of arms traders. The movie was burried by the critics and I am starting to wonder if they had specific motives. What is a movie critic anyway?
