Review of Savages (2012)

By Andrew O'hehir (1,324) for Salon.com (2,725) on 04 Jul 2012

Savages is enjoyable in a way that's almost but not quite intentional camp; it's like eating a dinner made by a 7-year-old, with cake for every…

Review of Savages (2012)

By Stephanie Zacharek (2,333) for Movieline (883) on 04 Jul 2012

Stone's moralism, coupled with discreet but bloody beatings, shootouts and all manner of tawdry goings on, rings hollow…

Review of Savages (2012)

By Peter Sobczynski (1,159) for eFilmCritic.com (5,125) on 04 Jul 2012

Freed of working with any historical or socio-political agenda to speak of for the first time since the gloriously grubby U-Turn, Stone is…

Review of Savages (2012)

By Steven Rea (1,872) for Philadelphia Inquirer (3,920) on 04 Jul 2012

Who knows if it was Del Toro's idea, or Stone's, but at a particularly crucial - and criminal - moment, as a very bad thing is about to occur,…

Review of Savages (2012)

By Ty Burr (2,612) for Boston Globe (6,852) on 04 Jul 2012

Savages is Oliver Stone's strongest work in years - a stylish, violent, hallucinatory thriller with both a mean streak and a devilish sense of humor…

Review of Savages (2012)

By Brian Orndorf (4,059) for BrianOrndorf.com (1,055) on 04 Jul 2012

Coarse and half-asleep, Savages is a waste of Stone's time and energy, falling back on tired habits of provocation best left buried with his…

Review of Savages (2012)

By J.r. Jones (1,066) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 04 Jul 2012

The true schism here, however, is between the brainless fun of the action plot and Stone's cheap exploitation of the cartels' real-life sadism…

Review of Savages (2012)

By Eric D. Snider (2,489) for Film.com (1,892) on 04 Jul 2012

Hayek strikes the right balance between thinking too hard about the story's inherent nonsense and sitting back and enjoying the ride…

Review of Savages (2012)

By Gary Thompson (1,554) for Philadelphia Daily News (1,596) on 04 Jul 2012

Johnson, Kitsch and Lively struggle to make an impression in a movie filled with grand-standing stars, and one questions the work habits of…

Review of Savages (2012)

By Alonso Duralde (1,351) for TheWrap (3,203) on 04 Jul 2012

The climax smacks of either screenwriter desperation, directorial indecision, or this worked in the book…

Review of Savages (2012)

By Joe Neumaier (1,294) for New York Daily News (5,623) on 04 Jul 2012

Stone relies on his leads to guide us into this hyper-charged inferno, and they fit his juiced-up approach like James Woods and Woody Harrelson…

Review of Savages (2012)

By Avi Offer (997) for NYC Movie Guru (997) on 04 Jul 2012

The rare guilty pleasure that offers both style and substance along with dark comedy, suspense, tongue-in-cheek humor and Benicio Del Toro…

Review of Savages (2012)

By Graham Killeen (120) for Milwaukee Journal Sentinel (1,693) on 04 Jul 2012

For a mess, Savages is a big, bloody, crazy, beautiful mess, featuring enough visual fireworks to restart the Fourth of July…

Review of Savages (2012)

By Chris Bumbray (988) for JoBlo's Movie Emporium (1,959) on 04 Jul 2012

A pretty good adaptation of an amazing book. The ending almost ruins it, but Del Toro, Travolta and even Kitsch pull it back from the brink…

Review of Savages (2012)

By Jesse Cataldo (136) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 04 Jul 2012

While his classic hyperbolic visual style is back in force, Stone can't bother to muster any of his usual righteous anger, instead mischanneling…

Review of Savages (2012)

By A.o. Scott (2,100) for New York Times (5,786) on 04 Jul 2012

Savages is a daylight noir, a western, a stoner buddy movie and a love story, which is to say that it is a bit of a mess…

Review of Savages (2012)

By Maitland Mcdonagh (2,150) for Film Journal International (5,095) on 04 Jul 2012

Based on co-screenwriter Don Winslow's critically acclaimed novel, at heart a classic noir thriller, Savages doubles down and raises the bloody…

Review of Savages (2012)

By Matt Pais (1,519) for RedEye (906) on 04 Jul 2012

Can't decide if it's a horrifying cautionary tale or an ironic, comedic nod to [those] who become wrapped up in a deadly game over an illegal…

Review of Savages (2012)

By Owen Gleiberman (3,271) for Entertainment Weekly (6,953) on 04 Jul 2012

Savages is Oliver Stone doing what he should have done a long time ago: making a tricky, amoral, down-and-dirty crime thriller that's blessedly…

Review of Savages (2012)

By Brent Simon (1,142) for Screen International (2,241) on 04 Jul 2012

It aches for grander artistic statement when everything about its story is tawdry B-movie…
