How does “legitimate businessman” Victor Bout become the world’s most notorious arms dealer, and even the subject of a Nicolas Cage action movie? With unprecedented access to Bout’s home movies and the sting operation that brought him down, The Notorious Mr. Bout is a surprisingly entertaining portrait of the man dubbed the “Merchant of Death”.
