Savages

What an intense movie about drug dealing, their lifestyle as drug dealers and crooked cops; add a little sex, kidnapping, backstabbing and war veterans...... you've about summed it all up. Oh, not to mention the complex web of turf war that is quite ugly in this industry.
Loved the cast and the acting put forth by everyone.  Kudos to the casting crew. Oliver Stone doesn't disappoint on this one as with most of his movies it had depth of characters and story line which we also have to give credit to the writer Don Winslow.

The movie starts very racy with a sex scene between 2 of the main characters and narration from Blake Lively as her character "O" gives you some background to the story and people involved.  It seems a little hard to believe that a couple of young good looking men could run a "civilized" marijuana  business, but that's what the story is based on.
There is a little background given on everyones past and present which helps you relate to the characters very personally.

I enjoyed the movie very much and would recommend it with the caveat that its racy in some parts and graphic violence in others, but it is about the Mexican cartel and drug dealing....

5 stars for the great acting and writing an in depth story line of each character.
