A pair friends - one a laid-back peaceful Buddist, the other an ex-mercenary and Navy SEAL run a homegrown pot-growing business with their mutual girl, Ophelia.

With the help of a shady DEA agent, they hope to win against unimaginable odds. -- Chris Kavan

This was just bad but it had a really good photography! Del Toro never disappoints!

There isn't much here that I haven't seen in the usual crime/drug flick, besides two plot turns in the latter half. I didn't care for Kitsch, Johnson and Lively's characters. Del Toro and Hayek (to some extent) are the only standouts. Throughout the film, I had a sense that every part of it was just 'okay', until that un-satifying double ending.

a pretty good movie about a couple of drug dealers and the cartel. it kept me hooked , the ending was interesting though not the ending i expected or hoped for . , it could of benefited from a better ending especially the bad guy of the movie . i was expecting more with him, and the snipers who we never really saw were a strange part of the movie . overall its still a good movie even though it has faults and should of been better as it was all there but doesn't seemed to of been put together as well as it should of been or thought out properly. solid 4 star though.

It doesn't have the same emotional and thematic impact of older Stone films, but Savages displays a charisma and energy that has been missing from the great director's last few duds. The ensemble cast meshes well to tell a sizzling story of betrayal and revenge, set mostly against the desert heat of Baja and Southern California. The film tries to reach at themes bigger than it is, but it succeeds in presenting interesting characters with multiple sides of morality; no one character is wholly good, but none are wholly evil either (except for maybe Benicio Del Toro's heartless hitman.) A less potent Stone film, but, still, a stylistic and entertaining treat.

Savages was an alright movie it starts off strong than sizzles out towards the end. Not your typical Oliver Stone film & definitly in my opinion not his best.

There is no same ole same ole about this story

After reading alot of reviews slagging director Oliver Stone's latest effort as being unlike his usual work..another wrote that he whould stick to his normal style of directing that he is accustomed and known for... I personally have watched all of Stone's films and just wonder what in the hell these people mean by normal style? As far as i can remember each and everyone of Stone's flicks were in a style of their own and not one of them share the same flare...so? Needless to say i thought he did a fantastic job on 'Savages' Actually the only thing i wasnt to keen on was the triangular love affair between the 3 main charectors and how the male bff's shared her (in one segment at the same time) sorry that's just a whiff of my old fashionism escaping tis all...Great cast as per usual let's ...
