We get it. If you don’t want it for any reason, then quite frankly, we don’t want you to have it. It’s a warehouse. We barely enjoy coming here, but for you, we will.

About this product

Product Information

Joshua Seftel's fierce political satire features an all-star cast headed by John Cusack. Set in a fictionalized Middle East, the film takes United States foreign affairs to comic extremes in a world where corporations rule and wars are completely outsourced. At the start of the film, Turaqistan is occupied by a private American company belonging to a former American vice president (Dan Aykroyd). Cusack comes in as Brand Houser, a hit man slowly growing a conscience and doubting his chosen profession. Hired to take down one of the country's major players, Houser goes undercover as the organizer of a major conference. His title also requires that he make sure the wedding of a local pop singer (Hillary Duff) goes smoothly. While working alongside Marsha Dillon (Joan Cusack), Houser tries to handle and ward off advances from the over-sexualized, pint-sized pop idol. The addition of an intelligent, beautiful, and radical journalist named Natalie (Marisa Tomei) to the mix only makes Houser's job tougher. The more time he spends with Natalie, the more he wishes for the chance to be honest and to escape this killing game. Packed with violence and humor, WAR, INC. works thanks to its strong leads and the romance at the heart of the film. Quirky touches include Houser's memory-triggering obsession with hot sauce, and a Wizard of Oz-like villain (Ben Kingsley) who hides behind a screen as he gives commands under the guise of constantly morphing video images of popular American celebrities. An eclectic soundtrack adds surprising whimsy and, at times, unexpected nuance. War-themed pop numbers by Duff contrast with dark ballads played as scenes of battle fill the screen. Though the plotline is intentionally overloaded and preposterous at times, viewers will find the film's statements relevant to the reality that inspired it.

  • ...very entertaining [non] fiction...

    I was reminded of how entertaining this movie was via some short/cuts viewed on YouTube. Eventually, I knew I needed to own it. The movie is both entertaining and hard hitting in it's (obviously) true-to-life message about business, government and politics! It is satire and malevolence, humor and wit and even the music seems to properly move it along. Now, with that in mind-and the fact the movie is attacking big-business and it's marketing and crooked ways of making money...???...this disk was set up whereby you cannot bypass any/all of the previews/advertisements at the beginning of said film. You must sit through them before being ALLOWED to watch the movie! Frankly, I find it intolerable-if not totally annoying!

  • DIDN'T LIKE THIS. NOT MY KIND OF COMEDY OR HUMOR...

    Took a chance on this one. But this type of movie was a little too dark for me. Didn't laugh once.
