The second Sherlock Holmes movie with Robert Downey Jr.
Moriarty is basically a well-connected war profiteer, yanking the strings of European politicians and industrialists to ignite WW1.
He points out that nobody but Holmes is trying to stop him from starting a war, because all the monarchs and politicians and weapons manufacturers want a war. They want an opportunity to use all these massive new weapons they've purchased and profited from. They want to send their surplus populations to die in a violent bloody explosion of conflict.
He basically says that the war is too profitable to not happen ........ and then he ascribes it as "human nature". The word "capitalism" isn't said once.
