Message: [QUOTE="nelsonmuntz, post: 3585093, member: 833"] [B]Savages (2012)[/B] - Good crime/action movie with a terrible ending. The cast is great, with Aaron Taylor-Johnston and Taylor Kitsch playing best friends and pot dealers in a weird relationship with Blake Lively. They cross a Mexican drug gang (Selma Hayek, Benecio Del Toro), and things get dicey pretty quickly. John Travolta is pretty good as a scumbag DEA agent. Even the secondary characters are well cast, like Emile Hirsch as the buddies' money launderer and Demien Bichir as Hayek's Consigliere. There are some problems, such as the Taylor Kitsch character borders on being a super-hero, and computer hacking plays a big role, which I think is lazy writing, but it is a great movie up to the end. I saw this years ago, and I couldn't remember why I had this bad impression about the movie in my mind. Until I got to the end, and then I remembered why I promised myself I would never watch this movie again. The ending is so stupid that I was angry I had wasted two hours watching the movie. The book ending was stupid too. [/QUOTE]
