War Inc., directed by Joshua Seftel and written by Mark Leyner, Jeremy Pikser, John Cusack, is set to release this Summer. The movie stars John Cusack, Hilary Duff, Joan Cusack, Marisa Tomei, Ben Kingsley and Dan Aykroyd.
War Inc. is a black comedy set in Turaqistan, an imaginary country occupied by an American private corporation run by a former US Vice-President (Dan Akroyd). In an effort to monopolize the opportunities its nation offers, the corporation’s CEO hires a troubled man (John Cusack) to kill a Middle East Oil Minister.
Even though Cusack is well prepared to complete the given assignment, he has to overcome many obstacles. Cusack encounters Marisa Tomei, a reporter in search of the real Turaqistan. And, as she digs for insights on how regular Turaqistanis are being affected by the U.S. occupation, she finds herself at odds with Cusack’s character.
Time Out New York reports that the most enjoyable part of the movie is the “sharp banter” between the main characters. However, it is less than impressed with the supporting characters.
The film’s secondary figures complacent reporters, news anchors, and especially the fianc of a local pop star and his entourage of 50 Cent wanna-bes are awfully familiar and one-dimensional for a supposedly smart satire.
According to Movie – List, everything changes when Cusack falls in love with Tomei.
Set in the future, the desert country of Turagistan is torn by a riot after a private corporation, owned by the former US president, has taken over the whole state. Brand Hauser is a hit man, who suppresses his emotions by gobbling down on hot sauce and is hired by the corporation’s head to kill the CEO of their competitors.
Before the movie is released, here is the official trailer.
