"Savages" is Oliver Stone the way we like him - gritty, sexy, and
oh-so-violent. This film starts as a simple story of a laid-back crew
of Southern Californian pot dealers, but develops into and all out
warfare between them and notoriously ruthless Mexican drug cartels,
fronted by a very mean Selma Hayek. This is a Hayek we have not seen
before - so gritty and dirty, yet so beautiful and elegant. Yet the gang still has their hopes with John
Travolta, and he steals the show. We are all subject to the
whims of the world, as Stone proves, we are perhaps too connected, too
much. The world is not a large place anymore, but a terrifyingly small
area, where unscrupulous people create havoc. A great storyline, great
acting, depth, drama - all top of the line. Do see this one, it is
fresh and new, exciting, and will leave you breathless.
