War, Inc DVD
A non-literal sequel to Gross Point Blank. Starring John Cusack, Marisa Tomei, Joan Cusack, Hillary Duff, Ben Kingsley and Dan Aykroyd.
Cusack stars as Brand Hauser a contract hit man who works for Tamerlane corporation, a private quasi military industrial complex company, run by Dan Aykroyd. He has been sent to a fictional middle east country representing Iraq to prepare the wedding of a regional popstar and a wealthy prince. The true mission is to assasinate the president of a neighboring country.
While there is some witty references, such as Hauser using a service represpentative from an On-Star clone as a pyschologist, Cusacks normal charm is lost on this film, which he co-wrote and produced. His humor is much better suited to pop-culture not obvious political satire.
Not a flick I would reccomend. Its got a great cast but weak dailogue and weaker set design. The DVD has no extras.
