Will it be Steven Soderbergh or Oliver Stone who more adequately handle the drug industry? I’m placing my bet on the film that came out twelve years ago.

Savages

Plot Summary: Two small time pot sellers run afoul of a dangerous drug cartel. When the cartel kidnaps one of their girlfriends, they go on a rampage trying to bring back the girl and bring down the cartel at the same time.
Release Date: July 6, 2012

Poster

Trailer

Rating: C
Commentary: Six actors, five recognizable faces. You have to feel bad for Aaron Johnson whose mug is hidden behind a carnival mask for not getting any visibility. That, of course, is the least of this wholly unoriginal poster’s problems.
Rating: C
Commentary: It almost feels as if Oliver Stone started making the film and got high off his subjects’ pot before deciding which drug-fueld fantasy he would follow to its conclusion. While it would be nice for Stone to return to the form he set back in the 1980’s and 1990’s, I’m afraid this doesn’t look like it will do that.
