Blu-ray Reviews of War, Inc. [Blu-ray]

Blu-ray Review: Blu-ray cheaper than the DVD
Summary: 5 Stars

At the time of this review, the BD at 10.49 is substantially lower than the DVD price. Bargain hunters take note. The picture quality and audio quality is passable for a BD, but definitely better than dvd quality. It is also widescreen.

The Arctic town scene makes it look like a serious spy movie was going to erupt. The comedic music should have alerted me.

This BD should be kept away from the hands of children as their heroine Hillary Duff is spouting profanity continuously and staying in sexy poses. The antithesis of Lizzie McGuire. Hillary Duff walks a fine line between mocking a culture and mocking a religion. No fatwas have been issued against Duff, so we are good. Hillary Duff sings a few ditties in this movie.

Jeffrey Donovan and Gabrielle Anwar (Burn Notice TV series) would have made a better job of deadpan comedy. Physical slap-stick comedy is not necessary for this sort of satire.

My American friends find this movie difficult to swallow, because they see in this movie their tax dollars wasted in Turaquistan, which has all the letters of I-R-A-Q in it.

The rest of the world might find this satire spot on and cutting too close to the bone. Whatever your political views are, this BD is worth the price.

Description of War, Inc. [Blu-ray]

WAR INC - Blu-Ray Movie
A wobbly mix of violence and sentiment, War, Inc. takes up where Grosse Pointe Blank left off. A conscience-stricken killer in the previous film, producer/co-writer Cusack now plays an international assassin. In Joshua Seftel's political satire, corporations operate like governments. In the volatile nation of Turaqistan, Cusack's hot sauce-addicted Brand Hauser sets his sights on Omar Sharif--the oil baron, not the actor (it's never clear why this is meant to be funny). As a cover, Hauser passes as the producer for an economic trade show with fellow operative Marsha (Joan Cusack) acting as his assistant. Trained by Southern smoothie Walken (Ben Kingsley) in his CIA days (depicted though flashbacks), Hauser now takes orders from an oily CEO (Grosse Pointe co-star Dan Aykroyd). Offing Sharif, however, turns out to be harder than expected. Hauser's obstacles include left-wing journalist Natalie Hegalhuzen (Marisa Tomei) and foul-mouthed pop tart Yonica Babyyeah (Hilary Duff, erasing innocent images of Lizzy McGuire). Cusack and his crew come up with a few clever ideas, but too many crass gags blunt their thesis about military contractors run amok. Pitched somewhere between Stanley Kubrick?s Dr. Strangelove and Mike Judge?s Idiocracy, War, Inc. registers as more of a miss than a hit. On the plus side, Cusack and Tomei have a snappy rapport; it's the more over-the-top performers who look out of place, especially Ms. Cusack and Kingsley, though the latter's deft turn as a boozy hit man in the overlooked You Kill Me almost makes up for this misfire. --Kathleen C. Fennessy
