Ths movie had an interesting storing plot and the acting was pretty good. The movie was a little gruesome for me at times, but overall the movie had all of the elements of a good//decent movie ( good acting, gritty story, sex, violence, decent plot).
Yes, I recommend this movie.

THE STORY OF THE MOVIE WHAT IT DOES IS TRYING TO MAKE PEOPLE USE DRUGS AND THE MORAL OF THE PEOPLE GOES VERY DOWN, LIKE TRYING TO SEND A WRONG MMMMMESSAGE TO THE PEOPLE THAT A WOMAN COULD HAVE SEX WITH TOO MEN WHO ARE FRIENDS, IN OTHER WORDS THE ACTRESS WHO IS PLAYING THIS PART SHE IS ACTING LIKE A PROSTITUTE, THIS MOVIE SENDS A WRONG MESSAGE TO THE PUBLIC.
Cons slow, wrong message to the young tenagers and the public
No, I do not recommend this movie.

The movie was good. A lot of special effects. The plot has a lot to do with what is going on in Mexico right now with corruption and drug cartels. But I would definitely wait for it on DVD instead of watching at the movie theater.
Pros well paced, great story
No, I do not recommend this movie.

Story- Great
Overall casting- Good
Blake Lively- Aweful actress
Ending- Unrealistic
The story and most of the cast was perfect. This film was brutal as promised and had some great dialog scenes. That being said, the main actress very bad. I could hardly tell if she has any emotions at all. The ending rewind feature was not great, I wish they let it end the original way. I wish they had casted someone else for the lead female role, and they had stuck with the original ending. Beyond that, the film was good. I'd recommend to wait for DVD though.
Pros great story
Cons bad acting, slow
Yes, I recommend this movie.

This is Oliver Stone at his playful best. It isn't a masterpiece, but it is a lot of fun. Stone brings his usual visual flair to the material, and he's helped along by some solid performances from a deep ensemble cast. ...a violent and tough-minded film about characters looking out for their own self-interest no matter who else it may hurt. The movie's great surprise, and delight, is Salma Hayek's Elena, a svelte monster with a Cleopatra haircut who runs the cartel. Gripping film that keeps things exciting by being bloody almost throughout. A must see.
Pros well paced, great actors
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Oliver Stone does a better than decent job with this film. Except for Del Toro all the actors are easy to look at. The story gets you thinking about a lot of the different angles, what if it was legal, why does a rich girl choose to live like this, Best friendships when they are not the best for you, the informants, motherhood and lots more. Too bad the story has so much gore and brutality. I don't know except I will say some of the scenes are haunting and make you wish you didn't go see it. Overall, each character has great complexity and parallels real life people and their life dilemma's.
Great scenery most of the time and in between the blood. Some pretty senseless aggression.
Pros great actors
Cons brutality

"Savages" is about 2 pot growers, Ben (Aaron Johnson) and Chon (Taylor Kitsch) who happens to be an ex-navy seal along with their shared girlfriend (Blake Lively) who face opposition from the Mexican Cartel. The Mexican Cartel wants in on Ben and Chon's business. Ben and Chon don't want to be part of their business, they just want to help people with illnesses who smoke the marajiana they grow and feel better. Ben and Chon have a friend or someone they believe to be their friend who is a DEA Agent (John Travolta). He is suppose to run interference for them but what they don't know is that a member of the Cartel also has his ear and the DEA Agent has his own agenda as well. Additionally, the Cartel doesn't take "NO" for an answer, they take heads!! The story unfolds from there...
The first hour of this movie was great. The second hour not so much. It was chaotic at best!! It's very hard to determine who the real "Snake" in the movie is. There's so many cons going on that it's difficult to determine if there is a good guy or hero.
The highlight of the movie is Salma Hayek who is Elena the leader of the Mexican Cartel. She looks great in her Cleopatra haircut and is very good at being mean and ruthless.
The movie is very bloody, very violent and brutal at times. Lots of nudity, Sex and drug use throughout.
Cons too complex
Yes, I recommend this movie.

this is one of the most inense films ive ever seen. the story is complex and has many layers on top of some incredible cenimatagraphy. its simular to "Blow" but there are less funny, light-hearted parts. this movie is intense from start to finigh with a few funny lines when you least expect them betweem Travolta and del Toro. Great film. it was definately worth going to see.
Pros well paced, great story, great actors

Savages was a good movie!! It was one of those movies where you have no idea what is gonna happen next, and it is usually something you don't expect. Benecio Del Toro played a huge role and it was magnificant. Blake Lively and the supporting cast were good as well. I give props for Oliver Stone, for making a movie that has fresh ideas, and glorified suspense.
Pros great story, great actors, fresh new ideas, great water locations
Cons some parts dragged a little
Yes, I recommend this movie.

If for no other reason, you have to go see this movie for the outstanding performance of Benicio Del Toro. All in all, lots of sex, violence, brutality, etc. but what an actor Benicio is.

Told myself I had to be there to see this opening day... and indeed I kept my word. It was amazing, but that was to be expected. It's not just some movie about two loser dudes sitting around smoking all day, it's story line cannot be matched OR topped. Go see it.
Pros well paced, great story, great actors, aaron johnson
Cons just a little slow
Yes, I recommend this movie.
