Product Description
Recreating his role as a hitman, John Cusack gives a hilarious performance in War, Inc., a political satire set in Turaqistan, a Country occupied by an American private corporation run by a former U.S. Vice President (Dan Aykroyd). In an effort to monopolize the opportunities the war-torn nation offers, the corporation's CEO hires Hauser (Cusack) to kill a Middle Eastern oil minister. Now, struggling with his own growing demons, the assassin must pose as the corporation s Trade Show Producer in order to pull off this latest hit, while maintaining his cover by organizing the high-profile wedding of Yonica Babyyeah (Hilary Duff), an outrageous Central Asian pop star, and keeping a sexy left-wing reporter (Marisa Tomei) in check.

A wobbly mix of violence and sentiment, War, Inc. takes up where Grosse Pointe Blank left off. A conscience-stricken killer in the previous film, producer/co-writer Cusack now plays an international assassin. In Joshua Seftel's political satire, corporations operate like governments. In the volatile nation of Turaqistan, Cusack's hot sauce-addicted Brand Hauser sets his sights on Omar Sharif--the oil baron, not the actor (it's never clear why this is meant to be funny). As a cover, Hauser passes as the producer for an economic trade show with fellow operative Marsha (Joan Cusack) acting as his assistant. Trained by Southern smoothie Walken (Ben Kingsley) in his CIA days (depicted though flashbacks), Hauser now takes orders from an oily CEO (Grosse Pointe co-star Dan Aykroyd). Offing Sharif, however, turns out to be harder than expected. Hauser's obstacles include left-wing journalist Natalie Hegalhuzen (Marisa Tomei) and foul-mouthed pop tart Yonica Babyyeah (Hilary Duff, erasing innocent images of Lizzy McGuire). Cusack and his crew come up with a few clever ideas, but too many crass gags blunt their thesis about military contractors run amok. Pitched somewhere between Stanley Kubricks Dr. Strangelove and Mike Judges Idiocracy, War, Inc. registers as more of a miss than a hit. On the plus side, Cusack and Tomei have a snappy rapport; it's the more over-the-top performers who look out of place, especially Ms. Cusack and Kingsley, though the latter's deft turn as a boozy hit man in the overlooked You Kill Me almost makes up for this misfire. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Its dark, and I mean, almost navy. Its only downfall is its heaviness, and sometimes it and the metaphors are jammed down your throat a little too often, but the ensemble cast is actually phenomenal, with Ben Kingsley and even Hillary Duff doing a great job (I can't believe I typed that).
You will laugh, if you have a dark sense of humor and like smart comedy. This movie is very timely, with the rise of the military farming out their work to private security (who are portrayed to be the craziest of all the crazies in the movie). Its small wonder it tanked in the box office, but if you have a proclivity towards movies like Dr. Strangelove, you'll find this to be one of the better movies you watched this year.
A good Satire. Cusack is so awesome I HATE he hasn't gotten as many or as good of roles as he deserves. The dude is an Oscar waiting to happen and has been most of his career. Tomai was excellent, the Italian girl every dude wants. The cameo's were great and though I love Kingsley- didn't love the accent though he did it well. It was an enjoyable watch- quirky and formulaic but in a good way.
was engaging and from a backstage brat vantage point, the whole work screams good stuff. Unlike some
Films I've been an extra in....
Too funny and also tragic in our political climate. Perhaps an approach to the truth of war that the "common"
mind can grasp?
Three stars because there is 60% of a good movie here. The performances were decent, the parts that focus on character development are solid, and production values were pretty good (some below par set/effects work).
Ultimately, though, yet another potentially great movie ruined by the Bush era and the repeated, failed and painful (to watch) efforts of Hollywood make a movie that is both good art/entertainment and really, really against Bush and his administration.

Another great example of a talented cast meeting and being allowed to run with a great script.
Many wry winks to the audience, and I've gotta say, having seen Ms. Tomei only in the Wrestler , and My Cousin Vinny prior to this , I will seek out more of her work.
This lady really brings it, yet you never see her attempting to "steal" a scene.
Fantastic!
Der Hautdarsteller wurde mit John Cusack perfekt besetzt, der seine Figur auf bekannt trockene Art verkörpert.
Technisch kommt die BluRay ebenfalls gut weg, Ton und Bild sind auf solidem Niveau und bieten wenig Raum zu meckern.
Lediglich bei den Extras wurde etwas gespart. Trailer, Making of, ein Interview... ist heute schon fast Standard.
Fazit: wer auf schwarze Komödien steht, macht hier wenig falsch. Sie ist zwar nicht typisch britsch, aber sie überzeugt.
