Two entrepreneurs ,one of them is peaceful, and the other is veteran that fought in iraq with a girl that gets kidnapped , they have multiple weed farms. They get into a conflict with a Mexican mob. From there things got out of hand and violence ensued with a twist at the end. Super cool thriller. I think it is underrated. Lots of taranino like jumpscares. When shots or unexpected actions occur suddenly which brings your adrenaline levels up. Love the shots and the directing.

Typical Oliver Stone! Oliver Stone's movies seem to be about the dark side of life. Savages is a dark side of life movie. The movies thesis is conveyed by two pot growing protagonist who morally argue with each other. One has a Nietzsche view of life while the other has Libertarian view of life. Stone's movie is a portrayal of California 1960's idealism of free love, the 2 guys have the same girl friend, and drugs use. The Libertarian believes he is helping the world with his drugs, and is on a mission to help the third world with the money he makes from the drug sales. The dark side of the movie is when the Mexican drug cartel comes into the protagonists world. The movie is vile and a bit hard to stomach. Stone directs a liberal world view with the nasty aftertaste of how vile reality is. I give Savages a six out of ten.

A couple of illegal drug makers and traffickers- who have a shared girlfriend who is central to the story-are entwined in a drug war with a Mexican cartel. Brutal and realistic action in a movie which is pacey and powerful. I enjoyed this film and in my view the actress playing the head of the Mexicans gave the stand out performance: Salma Hayek. Benicio Del Toro comes a close second. Everyone in the play is a drug dealer or aiding and abetting it. Many people would describe these drug crimes as hideous so the question is, why should the viewer have any sympathy for anyone in the picture(?). What makes the film is the very clever climax and conclusion and along with the rest of this show I can give it a sound: 7/10

Nothing special. Plot just rambles along, with a few holes and inconsistencies in it. At no stage do you feel engaged by or empathy with the lead characters. Just intriguing enough to keep you interested. Oliver Stone's direction is solid though, especially considering the script and some of the actors he had to work with. Movies is marred by the lead performances, all by relatively unknown/B- grade actors. Blake Lively and Aaron Taylor-Johnson are out of their depth in the movie - both performances are weak and unconvincing. Taylor Kitsch is mostly OK though. Supporting cast is where the big names are: Salma Hayek, Benicio Del Toro, John Travolta. Hayek and Del Toro give the most compelling performances of the movie - gritty and convincing. Travolta is irritating, trying too hard to be smooth and cool.

Savages is an elegant and highly engaging film. The subject matter is violent and shocking and yet the film itself jumps off the screen in bright and beautiful color and strangeness. The actors are very important in Savages, whether new or old faces we are treated to the best and the actors themselves are graced with extraordinarily energetic and brilliant filming, we are accustomed to Oliver Stone producing gorgeous and powerful films but Savages has a freshness which is exciting even by his standards. The virtuosity of Stone's talent has rarely served such a suspenseful and thrilling narrative, this could be his rawest gutsiest work since Salvador, even excesses in narrative conceit in the controversial ending(s) are handled with admirable composure and remain entertaining and true to its noir-ish originality. The glory of a stoned erotic daydream and the shocking violence of a bad acid trip. Take the ride. Revel in glorious horror!

Blake Lively is boring as hell in this movie. She can't act. Sorry Mrs. Reynolds. You suck. As for the story line, not exactly plausible and Salma is wasting her talent. I tried to watch this debacle twice before I gave up. The one stoner guy with his mercenary buddies? Really? And stoner guy number two, with his altruistic endeavors...totally believable...not. Poor John Travolta and Benito Del Toro...trying to dance around a weak plot and bad acting. I feel sorry for you guys--you deserve better. And probably thought you were going to get "better" with Oliver Stone at the helm. Better luck next time.

Look, I love good movies, and I'm never afraid to share my not so humble opinion regarding what I think. I've also yet to rate a movie a 10 star winner, but Savages delivers 10 stars in all the areas of film making. Great acting, great direction and production, great storyline, and really great entertainment equals 10 stars. In the past I'd say that Oliver Stone movies for me usually fall quite short of expectation, but this time around he's in true and rare form with this violent, unusual cartel thriller. No punches were pulled with this one, the violence is graphic and intense, so not for the squeamish OK. But if you enjoy a fast paced action thriller with an incredible and unique story, this is a must see.

I am a big fan of Narco-drug movies, and this one is probably one of my favorites because Benicio is in the show. His acting is brutal, realistic and savage. On the other hand only Salma and John do a good job, all the main actors are unrealistic. Direction here is fine but the script not the best. So, overall a good drug thriller thanks to Benicio's.
