Stone has a terrifying and convincing thesis as to why the film has to be set in America, with American characters: "The point," he says, "is that wars come home, they come home to roost. And there are connections: one of the two main guys has come home from Afghanistan and Iraq, and he's brought all that with him, what I think are new levels of cruelty and combat technology we have out there."
The thriller Savages is in the same brutal, druggy realm of Natural Born Killers, but Stone has evolved in the past decade and a half, and the new film has a deeper, more complicated perspective. The violence isn't a kick. It's horrifying, senseless. Amid the mayhem, you think, "It didn't have to go down this way." Why does it? Business.
Oliver Stone's film, Savages, with Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Taylor Kitsch, Blake Lively ,
Salma Hayek, Benicio del Toro, John Travolta , Demián Bichir... C A S T
Dirty, Rotten, (Industrialized) ‘Savages’!
Hayek had plenty to draw from in the lives of
Griselda Blanco and the "La Reina del Pacífico" (Sandra Ávila Beltrán).
(Still at large though are such notorious female narcos as Ana Cristina Aguirre Monje)
The film is based on a book with the same name by Don Winslow, but while the book was released to acclaim, the film was released to mixed reviews. The consensus is that the performances, with the exception of Blake Lively, are riveting.
Savages will be released on DVD and Blu-ray on November 13, 2012.
WILL SAVAGES INFORM THE REST OF THE COUNTRY
ABOUT THIS LITTLE SLICE OF AMERICAN BACKYARD?
Are homespun entrepreneurs/Pharma V the Mexican drug cartels coming to a turf near you? Presidential contender Romney knows what American addicts have known for years, send the uninsured to a nearby hospital emergency room. Some addicts go bi-weekly and are well known by staff. "Yes every medic and ER doc knows... "
