Leave your thoughts about War, Inc..
| eFilmCritic.comRob GonsalvesA punk-rock Strangelove riff on a mission very much unaccomplished. |
| Globe and MailLiam LaceyIf Harold & Kumar feels deliberately dumbed down, War, Inc. tries too desperately to show off its intelligence. |
| Christian Science MonitorPeter RainerIt's a bewildering mix of very smart and very dumb, but the cast, which also features a hilarious Joan Cusack, Ben Kingsley, Marisa Tomei, Dan Aykroyd as the Cheney-esque ex-vice president, and Hilary Duff as a Turaqistan airhead pop star, is tiptop. |
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonThe hilarious jokes and one-liners make take two viewings to fully absorb, but the movie also has an almost off-putting cynicism. |
| BrianOrndorf.comBrian OrndorfLook at War, Inc as a back-flipping, over-the-top political farce, and the results are far more pleasurable. Consider the film an unofficial sequel to the 1997 classic Grosse Pointe Blank, and War, Inc. is absolutely wonderful. |
| The Cinema SourceMichael DanceIt's a lot more dystopian than I thought it would be, at times reminiscent of something as nutty as Brazil. |
| IGN MoviesTodd GilchristCusack reminds audiences of one of his great films without quite making another one. |
| Portland OregonianMarc MohanComes up with some decent jokes, including a talking car-based GPS system which doubles as a therapist, and a suggestive Yonica number titled "I Want to Blow You Up," but fails to surround them with a compelling story or characters who rise above the level of cliche. |
| Chicago ReaderJ.R. JonesLike so many satires in the Strangelove mold, this never comes close to working as a story, but its lampoon of U.S. imperialism and military privatization is so bracingly obnoxious I didn't really care. |
| Capital Times (Madison, WI)Rob ThomasIf there's one thing a comedy needs, it's a good exit strategy. |
