If Savages interests you then first, go and watch the trailer posted earlier, then come back here to watch ‘What The Flick?!’ review the film itself. Do it, do it now.
Savages is the new movie from Oliver Stone, the legendary, Oscar-winning director. It’s based on the novel of the same name by Don Winslow, but has Stone’s trademark look and feel plastered all over it.
Stone is a known user of marijuana and an advocate for legalizing it. This movie keeps that political outlook on the subject bubbling away underneath, but with a pulpy, trashy movie on the surface.
Savages tells the story of Californian weed growers who run foul of a Mexican drug cartel. And it’s been described as a cross between Kill Bill and Miami Vice.
