Savages (2012)
Directed by Oliver
Stone this film based on the novel of the same name stars Taylor
Kitsch, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Blake Lively and Salma Hayek. Two young
men that have built up a weed selling empire in California and their
mutual girlfriend fall foul of a Mexican cartel.
The plot of this film
is pretty disappointing on multiple levels, the basic story takes a
simplistic look at the drugs trade and the main female character is
there to be nothing more than a passive victim. Even the unusual
central relationship does not really get any decent exploration and
the ending does not really make sense on a character level either.
All the acting talent here is relegated to supporting roles with
bland “attractive young people” in the main roles and some of the
dialogue is ham fisted at times .
2/5
