All of the other reviews I've read have been VERY positive so I'll take this with a grain of salt. Some people are just clearly biased against Oliver Stone.

1) Never trust a reviewer who references so much irrelevant crap in their review. 2) Never trust anyone who calls themselves "the truth."

Savages is a flawed yet entertaining film adaptation of Don Winlsow's stellar work of pulpy fiction.

Why are guys so mad? It's Benjamin's opinion, no need to attack him for it. You sound like crazy fanboys.

Well it does have to be said other sites have given the movie positive reviews and liked it. And i mean at least a handful or so.

what exactly is an "one-the-noise voice-over?"

That film was bloody rubbish! Glad one critic looked past it being from stone and gave it what it deserved. The only parts that tickled my fancy were Benecio and Travolta. Well done Benjamin keep being honest. I bloody hate these cookie cutter critics.

ugh. shit movie. The voice-over is fucking horrible. The ending is essentially, "it was only a dream."

seriously, I wasted my Friday evening on this ludicrous Tarantino-dannyboyle wannabe bland laugh of a film. I should've wacthed some series instead

It's amazing how much Channing Tatum can catch every break but how Taylor Kitsch can't catch a single one.

This movie is a goddamn trainwreck of terrible. One of the worst of the year.

Thank you, Ben. I just told similar things to my co-workers after an early screening. It was quite awful. Lively is a dead fish on this film, I wonder if Jennifer Lawrence would have done a better job at making us care about O. Sorry but am amazed at some of the critic's calling this a return to form. Don't waste your money people, the trailer is the only good part.

The issue here is that we're suppose to believe Blake Lively can act, Taylor Kitsch has fought in more than one war, and John Travolta's hairline is not some sort of optical illusion.

It's liked by Ebert, AO Scott, Corliss, Morgenstern, Gleiberman, McCarthy, O'Herir and Edelstein. And one critic who gives it a B- is shown as rotten [which is odd]. So in reality the critics don't hate it. It's mixed, which means we don't have a manufactured consensus. That's one reason to sort of recommend it. Note that Turan writes: "You might not think that a motion picture called "Savages" could be too violent, too savage, but you would be wrong." That kind of review could actually make more people want to see it.

It's too bad this movie is now certified as terrible.

Gotta give credit to The Playlist for being the first one to call this movie as they saw it. So many people trying to defend it online. What a pile of trash! Ben deserves a raise…or a visit from Blake Lively 😉

So, is this means the end of Taylor Kitsch's leading actor career?… Maybe Savages isn't "his film", but the reviews of his performances aren't exactly positives and the prospectus of the film is falling…

For me, I hope so. Yes, maybe I sound rude, but I'm gonna pay for watch a film and I don't want a himbo as a lead actor. He's hot, but I think he belongs in the modeling scene and not Hollywood… Also, this is another advice for you Brooklin Decker-

P.D. Taylor Kitsch and Hayden Christensen -Big fat himbos- are from British Columbia
