David Thomson
The film would have been so much more interesting if the two men had been identical twins played by the same actor-like Jeremy Irons in David Cronenberg's Dead Ringers.
Tom Huddleston
It all smacks of trying too hard to mask the absence of strong material.
David Denby
Stone devotes considerable ingenuity to making atrocity appear as a terrifying kind of home movie, but "Savages" is no more than a summertime debauch.
Rex Reed
These are neither good people nor interesting savages, and they're not worth caring about. Neither is the movie.
Lisa Kennedy
Savages points to a problem with gifted directors, which Stone is, like him or not: They can make a movie that aggravates, infuriates, falters even, but they can really make a movie.
Peter Rainer
Savages isn't about anything except flashily directed mayhem. In this nest of vipers, it's the slitheriest varieties that survive -- at least for a time.

The movie's great surprise, and delight, is Salma Hayek's Elena, a svelte monster with a Cleopatra haircut who runs the cartel.
User reviews
Good, But Overkill On The Sex Scenes I'm a guy, and yes, I know that I should be ecstatic over the amount of sex portrayed in this movie. I'm not, however, and in my opinion it gave the characters and movie a sleazy aura. Sex does not equal entertaining. If I wanted to watch people getting it on, I would just watch porn. This movie has great action, intensity, and a good storyline. It also looks like it's trying rival most softcore porn films. If you're planning to watch it with friends or ladies present, you might just end up feeling awkward.
Whoa maaaaan I've been waiting n my quiet little life for a movie like this. It is the shiz 2 dat nit. LOL I couldn't think of 1 bad thing 2 say about it. Selma (dont usually like her acting) GREAT! All the stars came 2 win. It went where I didn't think it would go. I had a false sense of security going thinking I would figure out every twist and turn and I DIDNT! I usually do. Must, must, must see. And this is not John Travolta under a different name! See it!
Love to live it What more can i say. My best fantasy to have 2 men love me the way these 2 luscious men love Ophelia. One lucky woman in my book!
Had high hopes but this sux Really dumb movie non realistic story line, really stupid ending and some d bag main characters
Verry nice I realy enjoyed the movie i think u should make more movies like that one,

Savages (Unrated)
Crime
4
Three-time Oscar-winning filmmaker Oliver Stone brings to life this ferocious, Unrated Edition. In a glittering California beach town, two best friends' innovative marijuana business has come to the attention of the ruthless Mexican Baja Cartel. As a seemingly unwinnable war unfolds around them, they're forced to take part in a savage battle of wills to save the girl they both love. Starring Taylor Kitsch, Blake Lively, Aaron Johnson, John Travolta, Benicio del Toro and Salma Hayek, Savages is "stylish, violent, hallucinatory thriller." (Ty Burr, Boston Globe)
To Kill a Mockingbird
Crime
4
Gregory Peck won an Oscar for his brilliant performance as the Southern lawyer who defends a black man accused of rape in this film version of the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel. The way in which it captures a time, a place, and above all, a mood, makes this film a masterpiece. The setting is a dusty Southern town during the Depression. A white woman accuses a black man of rape. Though he is obviously innocent, the outcome of his trial is such a foregone conclusion that no lawyer will step forward to defend him except Atticus Finch (Gregory Peck), the town's most distinguished citizen. His compassionate defense costs him many friendships but earns him the respect and admiration of his two motherless children.

Seduced by the power of the brutal New York underworld, he enters a deadly circle of greed and retribution. Assisted by his two brothers in crime, Carlito is on the fast track to becoming Spanish Harlem's ultimate kingpin. He quickly learns, however, that the only way to survive at the top is through loyalty to his friends and respect for the rules of the street.

One of the most influential movies of all time, the original Scarface is an exciting story of organized crime's brutal control over Chicago during the Prohibition era. Academy Award winner Paul Muni gives an electrifying performance as Tony Camonte, an ambitious criminal with a ruthless drive to be the city's top crime boss. Produced by the legendary Howard Hughes and directed by Howard Hawks, this compelling tale of ambition, betrayal and revenge is a groundbreaking masterpiece that influenced all gangster films to follow. Filmed during the "pre-code" era before censorship shaped the way movies were made, &this powerful gangster film is the most potent of the 1930s& (Leonard Maltin's Classic Movie Guide).

Was she a battered prisoner of her suburban home or as the tough-as-nails prosecutor (Edelstein) argued, a calculating, cold-blooded murderer? 2012 Sony Pictures Television Inc. All Rights Reserved.
