War, Inc. Movie Synopsis & Plot

"War, Inc." is an audaciously funny and surprisingly poignant film in the vein of "Grosse Point Blank." Co-written by Mark Leyner, Jeremy Pikser and producer/star John Cusack, the film also stars Hilary Duff, Marisa Tomei, Joan Cusack, Sir Ben Kingsley and Dan Aykroyd. "War, Inc." is a political satire set in Turaqistan, a country occupied by an American private corporation run by a former US Vice-President (Dan Akroyd). In an effort to monopolize the opportunities the war-torn nation offers, the corporation's CEO hires a troubled hit man, played by John Cusack, to kill a Middle East 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 Middle Eastern pop star, and keeping a sexy left wing reporter (Marisa Tomei) in check.

MOVIE REVIEW

War, Inc., the latest John Cusack film, had a lot of things going for it: amidst a hugely unpopular war, it was a satirical comedy that pokes fun of and criticizes American policies overseas. Unfortunately, it had one thing going against it: it was a satirical comedy that pokes fun of and criticizes American policies overseas. It's not that people disagree with the political themes presented in the movie; it's just that people don't care to see movies with political themes in general.
