Savages | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

Nothing in an Oliver Stone movie is ever subtle, and this one is no exception. But Kitsch, rebounding from two flops that were hardly his fault (John Carter, Battleship), proves his mettle with a tight-wound, fine-tuned performance.

A film that is fascinating to watch for the most part, and never dull, but without anyone for whom the audience can have a real rooting interest.

Savages is a fun flick that will keep you mildly entertained, but the script is flabby, the feature itself about 20 minutes too long and there's little dramatic tension to speak of.

The film isn't as subversive or as shocking as it tries so hard to be and as a result, it's a much more underwhelming experience than it should have been.

Savages may come off choppy in the very beginning, but it does springboards to a really fantastical second half.
