    You might want to read the Plot Summary by clicking on the blue link below to
    See if this could possibly be the movie you are looking for. Some of your
    Descriptions, such as the skinny lead actor, the film starting in New York
    (This one starts in Little Odessa--Brighton Beach, NY), Africa,
    The war going on, and CIA involvement fit the description for
    "Lord of War," 2005. Just trying to help you.

    Oh and I think he is not with the CIA... he sells firearms, his own business.

    Thanks. I read the full summary too, but he seemed very iffy about
    The details, and said he "thinks" that is what the character's name was.
    I thought if he read the synopsis it would jog his memory if that
    Was it or not. :p It was possible that he may have thought the
    Character from "Interpol" was CIA.

    Thanks, I read all info but it was not that movie I was looking for. It had been so long ago I sow this movie. Also I remember when he went in to African country stay hotel and he had contact with local guy he was spy on him and next day both driving to country side he carry camera and vernacular he claim he was researcher for Bird species for University. And local guy was kind of crazy. One scene I remember local African lady was so beautiful. But movie was suspense. I always want to see again but I don't remember the name of movie.
