The trailer for Oliver Stone’s Savages has been released and it kicks ass!

It has a Jackie Brown vibe to it, which is great casting combined with a strong story and a unique style. The cast consists of Salma Hayek, Benicio Del Toro, John Travolta, Blake Lively, Emile Hirsch, and Taylor Kitsch.

The only issue that I have with this film so far is that there is no way that I am going to be rooting for the “good guys” to win against a Mexican cartel that has Salma Hayek and Benicio Del Toro on its side….

Hayek and Del Toro win hands down in my book!

However it looks like the laid-back pot grower Chon is in fact a former Navy SEAL and ex-mercenary.

(Ok, just to interrupt for a second, I know that this sounds like a remake of Under Siege, hang in there….here comes the good bit.)
