The Verdict: "Savages"

[Jerry Roberts]

I'm a fan of Oliver Stone but, for me, this was a well-made film that ultimately didn't add up to much.

Most of Stone's films don't add up to much, but this one was a lot more fun than most of them. I liked the way it played around with my expectations and the way it played around with the ending, too.

It was not serious at all, and I like that.
