This “War, Inc.” trailer is like, wtf?? John Cusak co-wrote this and one has to take pause and seriously wonder after watching this: was it written as a resigned throw-his-hands-up in the air response to audiences’ complete apathy for his 2007 war film, “Grace Is Gone”? Or has he just lost his mind? Hilary Duff also stars in this thing as a Britney-like pop tart. This thing has to be seen to be believed.
The synopsis is basically this: Set in the future, when 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 (a not-so-subtle Haliburton dig), John Cusack plays the role of a hit man hired by the corporation’s head to kill the CEO of their competitors. Everything changes when the ruthless killer finds himself head-over-heels in love with a sexy reporter (Marisa Tomei).
