War, Inc.

This is a John Cusack movie that reminds me a LOT of Gross Point Blank. It takes place in the future where corporations run everything on the planet. Wars are outsourced to these large corporations and Cusack is basically a hired mercenary sent to the middle east under the guise of running a large “Brand USA” tradeshow. They’re trying to kill one of the middle east leaders and there’s a female journalist who he’s got his eye on. At the same time, this pop star who Cusack is hosting has a thing for him.It’s got some hilarious parts in it where you’re not sure if you’re supposed to be laughing or not. And then it gets all serious and blowing up and stuff. It doesn’t have Minnie Driver in it, so that’s a bummer.His sister Joan is in the film though playing his assistant. But all in all, if you can suspend belief a little bit, it’s really good.
