Trailer: Savages

Oliver Stone does drugs

Based on the novel by Don Winslow, Oliver Stone tackles the not-so-underground world of growing and selling marijuana.

I can't tell if this is going to be Fast and the Furious 11 or (insert a quality film here). Either way, with a cast of Benicio Del Toro, Emile Hirsch, Taylor Kitsch, Blake Lively, Aaron Johnson, John Travolta, Selma Hayek, Uma Thurman etc and direction by Oliver Stone, I'll definitely see it and I'll definitely enjoy it.

Color me mildly interested. Could be okay.

Oliver Stone doesn't interest me as he might have a few years back. But maybe this will bring him back into my 'interested' column.

Looks interesting though I didn't catch Uma Thurman anywhere in the trailer. Blake Lively is always hot though I wonder if this will be less acting and more her just looking good. It'd be nice if she gave a performance like in The Town. Nice to see Demián Bichir in something, he was good on Weeds.

So this is the Army of Two movie?

I was thinking that it was a mix of This Means War and Army of Two.

Why do all weed grow ops look like labs from Resident Evil? Oof I'm going to pass on this. Looks like GI Joe meets Breaking Bad.

How many movies do we need like this?

I think this is Oliver Stone's newest subversive Hollywood move. Get some other shit director to make a Fast & Furious ripoff but with drugs maybe, and then put his name on it. Genius!

Or, dude just needs some money. :/

I am excited about at least seeing some crazy ass Benicio. He hasn't got to freak the fuck out in a while.

I for one hope it ends with a double dragon type showdown to get the girl

There are these things called punctuation marks that you should put under the sub-headers.

mattman734on April 10, 2012 at 9:10 a.m.

I have always liked this kind of movie, kind of like Domino or Smokin Aces. It seems to have gone out of style so im interested in this.

Yikes! Bold and underlined, that's one serious sentence. I actually think the sub-headers look better with no punctuation. An ! or ? for emphasis always works, but a period just seems extraneous, no?

Looks like a videogame. And not in the cool way.

PHenry1991on April 10, 2012 at 11:21 a.m.

kind of meh

Blake Lively, drugs and violence. Consider me in for this!
kennyshaton April 11, 2012 at 7:03 a.m.

So people are still determined to make Kitsch and Lively stars then?

I don't know, I've never been the hugest Oliver Stone fan, but this looks like it could be okay.
