I was checking out Apple's trailer's page as I do every friday to waste time at work and I saw this.

I wasn't initially interested (Wow, John Cusack as a burned out assassin, what a stretch!) but as I watched the trailer, I found it pretty funny. I might have to search this one out.

And is there some clause in the contract that says his sister has to star in every movie he does? :smirk:

I’m confused, wasn’t Dan Aykroyd’s character killed in the first one? :)

Ha ha ha. Cusack did co-write and produce this, so it makes sense he'd hire all his buddies. I loved "Grosse Pointe Blank," so I'll definitely look for this one.

Not sure about this one....Why doesn't he just make a sequal to Gross Point...or is this the unoffical sequal...??.... I'm confused now:confused: :headscratch:

I loved the scene when the terrorists try and trade Lebron James into their basketball team :lol:

yeah, that's what really sold me on this movie. I was just sort of amused until the end of the trailer, and then I laughed out loud.

It's getting horrible reviews!
War, Inc is a debacle. Starring, co-written and produced by John Cusack, it’s an impotent, cheap-looking political satire that longs for relevance, but feels years stale. (It has, in fact, been around for awhile––it was once titled Brand Hauser, it went into production in fall 2006, it was rumored to have been set up for premiere slots at both Toronto 2007 and Sundance 2008, neither of which, for whatever reason, ever happened.) It’s a sign that Hollywood filmmaking about the current war and its associated politics has fatally passed over from merely irrelevant preaching to the choir, to a kind of solipsistic naivete that should make anyone with an intellectually-rooted anti-war position feel embarrassed to have their politics associated with it. War, Inc personally makes me want to put my head in my hands in shame. The Left deserves to be mocked as much as the Neo-Cons, but nobody deserves to have their reputations sullied by indefensible garbage like this.
