Every Jared Leto Movie Ranked From Worst To Best

9. Lord Of War (2005)

Jared Leto Suicide Squad
Lionsgate

The sheer awesomeness of Nicolas Cage and Jared Leto co-starring as brothers in Lord of War cannot be understated, but beyond its highly stylished visuals - including an incredible opening credits sequence - Andrew Niccol's crime drama is a genuinely compelling takedown of the international arms industry.

While it's not really believable at all that Cage and Leto are related, their go-for-broke performances absolutely compensate for this.

Cage is fully engaged as the charismatic, globe-trotting arms dealer Yuri Orlov, while Leto is a blast as his coke-addicted bro Vitaly, and Ethan Hawke is clearly having a lot of fun as the improbably-monikered Interpol Agent Jack Valentine.

Above all else Niccol splits the difference between heightened crime thriller and earnest Message Movie surprisingly well.
