Savages
Blake Lively, Uma Thurman, John Travolta
There once was a director called Oliver Stone who took big risks, dared to come off like an idealistic teenager, and had tons of fun with his outrage. Hopefully, that’s the guy who’s back with this south-of-the-border revenge flick, very much in the vein of Stone’s Quentin Tarantino–penned Natural Born Killers. Easy-on-the-eyes Lively is lover to two pot growers, both of whom panic after she’s kidnapped by a Mexican drug cartel. Lending mid-nineties credentials, Thurman portrays Lively’s mom, while Travolta yaps it up as a DEA agent.
