Movie Reviews of War, Inc.

Movie Review: This movie is classic Cusack
Summary: 5 Stars

As a fan of Cusack's since Gross Pointe Blank, I am glad to see him back as a kick-butting hit man. This time he's taken his comedic touch up a notch in my opinion, plus the message is so pertinent, that you just can't go wrong. Like most American's I too thought the war was a necessary move but due to mismanagement and bad leadership it has turned into an utter failure. Cusack uses this political satire to show audiences how we are exploiting the middle east and profiteering from this illegal war. A classic Cusack performance spliced wit hard-hitting political satire make this movie truly provocative, a controversial masterpiece.

Movie Review: Really grows on you
Summary: 5 Stars

I was disappointed the first time I watched this movie, but it has really grown on me. It has a surreal, tortured quality that is really punched up by Cusack's typical constricted ("constricted," as in affectively constricted, not as in "bad") delivery. There are some wonderful scenes, like Cusack taking a laundry delivery in the midst of a firefight, or his explanation of why he drinks hot pepper sauce, or Dan Aykroyd's rendition of a Dick Cheney character. As political commentary, this satire strikes close to literal truth. The day may not be far off when we have a 100% outsourced war.

Movie Review: A very important movie
Summary: 5 Stars

I've seen this when released and I would disagree with many of the reviewers who complain of the "disjointed" script. This movie is not confusing. It is extremely fast paced and can be watched several times to get all the jokes. The special effects are brutally effective and the underlying message very disturbing. The dark humor is right on, especially the bit where the Cusack's only friend is his Northstar roadside assistance system. The only complaint of the movie is how they fit Hillary Duff into the movie. It's a bit corny, but hey, it's Hollywood.

Movie Review: Classic Cusack!
Summary: 5 Stars

I came upon this movie by accident while I was visiting friends in Colorado (because, naturally, such a film won't be shown in ultra-conservative Georgia). I immediately fell in love with the dark humor and political satire as my favorite actor battled against his conscience, his bosses, and his hot sauce addiction. This movie is a fun watch for all, but particularly relevant to those of us who oppose the war. John Cusack hits it out of the park by finally saying what everyone's been too afraid to say. "War, Inc." is a MUST SEE!

Movie Review: Greatest War Satire since Dr. Strangelove
Summary: 5 Stars

In the best satire of the military-industrial complex since "Dr. Strangelove," John Cusack is a hit man for a Halliburton-like company in the first ever completely privatized American war. Trouble is, he's starting to have moral questions about the job. Will an inquisitive progressive journalist be able to get him back in touch with his soul?

This movie is dark, absurdist, and incredibly funny. It also covers a very important issue. Best movie I've seen all year.
