Plot Summary: "War, Inc." is an audaciously funny and surprisingly poignant film in the vein of "Grosse Point Blank." Co-written by Mark Leyner, Jeremy Pikser and producer/star John Cusack, the film also stars Hilary Duff, Marisa Tomei, Joan Cusack, Sir Ben Kingsley and Dan Aykroyd. "War, Inc." is a political satire set in Turaqistan, a country occupied by an American private corporation run by a former US Vice-President (Dan Akroyd). In an effort to monopolize the opportunities the war-torn nation offers, the corporation's CEO hires a troubled hit man, played by John Cusack, to kill a Middle East oil minister. Now, struggling with his own growing demons, the assassin must pose as the corporation's Trade Show Producer in order to pull off this latest hit, while maintaining his cover by organizing the high-profile wedding of Yonica Babyyeah (Hilary Duff) an outrageous Middle Eastern pop star, and keeping a sexy left wing reporter (Marisa Tomei) in check.

This movie was turrrrible.

It's like it didn't know what it wanted to be. Kinda slapstick, kinda serious, and overtly in its message about government and corporations. Is it a spaghetti western, a thriller, a comedy, a drama, too many directions trying to be covered here.

I'm really surprised with Hillary Duff though. I didn't know she was in it and the Yonica Babyyeah character seemed familiar and I was quite surprised to find out it was her.

And yes Marisa Tomei is a like a fine wine.
