Review of Savages (2012) by Michael V — 29 Dec 2012
"Oliver Stone, what can I say? I like some of his work (Platoon, Born on the Fourth of July, JFK, Natural Born Killers, Nixon, World Trade Center, etc). Add Savages to the ones I...liked from him.
Sure, it's a very messy movie and lifeless lead characters from Lively, Kitsch & Johnson (Kick-Ass himself, up and coming good actor) but it's violent, interesting & gritty. Also, good performances from the supporting cast including John Travolta, Emile Hirsch & Demian Bichir.
They are all good but it's Benicio Del Toro (using a Mexican accent) playing the creepy Lado & Salma Hayek's rocking a Cleopatra wig and playing a monster of woman running the cartel (her best role since Frida and one of her best performances of her career) that runs the show.
I kind of liked the twist at the end, thought this a good, dirty movie.".
