Edit this Page

As sun-baked and drug-fuelled a noir as you’ll ever find, Savages is a glorious mess of gritty violence, moral decay, and near-camp social commentary. It’s not perfect and barely sane, but it cuts a swath across its many targets with a confidence director Oliver Stone hasn’t shown in some time.

Trivia:
