the line “i have orgasms, he has wargasms" is possibly the worst thing i've ever heard in my life

I almost turned it off at the three minute mark when Blake Lively says "I have orgasms, he has wargasms." I can't believe I almost paid to see this in theaters, it's way too long and besides Benicio Del Toro (the reason I watched it) and a few alright bits of action, there's really nothing to see here. Travolta, stop.

Don Winslow's novel Savages is a clever, fast paced, self-aware, morally ambiguous book filled to the brim with extravagant characters and crisp, razor sharp and witty language.
This film is the polar opposite of that and the fact that Winslow was involved in writing the screenplay baffles me. I hope he was just there to make coffee for Mr. Stone.
This film fails at the most basic level there is. The three main characters we are asked to invest in have nothing for us to identify with and are completely and utterly uninteresting. In the novel they are funny and satirical archetypes. That works really well. In the film, for some reason, they had to be turned into real human…

"Just because we make up stories about ourselves doesn't mean we can escape what waits for us." or "What really happened was more of a fuck-up than a shoot-out."
Is this about a perceived new legitimacy -- decentralized capital, asymmetrical warfare, compartmentalization? Or is it that empires eventually eat themselves alive? Or just Stone's relentlessly idiosyncratic reflection on impermanence and interconnection?

It took me a while, but I began to live again.
You don't change the world. It changes you.

A movie about drug rapscallions,
Going up against a cartel battalion.
Everyone's Savage,
Classy, bougie, and ratchet.
A rhyme good enough for Megan Thee Stallion. -
Benicio del Toro & Salma Hayek earn all the stars, working overtime to elevate this overlong mash-up of "I'm Polyamorous" and "I'm in the Marijuana Business" episodes of MTV's True Life reality series with some Netflix cartel drama. I'd love to see a feature or telenovela solely about their characters, especially del Toro's enforcer/gardener whose domestic life is overwhelmed with angry dad baseball tips, Cheesecake Factory trips, and a pack of tutued chihuahuas.

Oliver Stone’s vicious and gory take on the drug trade that can be guilty of being overdone. Savages is hard to rally behind because it has a gallery of unlikeable characters—the title is spot on. But the cast are entertaining amoral specimens, and Stone provides a glimpse into the unsavory world of Southern California marijuana cultivation and the competing Tijuana cartel. I’m withdrawn initially by marijuana dealer protagonists Taylor Kitsch and Aaron Johnson, whom are Laguna Beach surfs-up types without a single moral marble in their heads. Blake Lively, as Ophelia (O for short), is a shared sex bunny between the boys; she is the brainy but vulnerable prize.
No clean getaways here – boys Chon, Ben, and their playmate…
