Summary of Savages

Entrepreneurs Ben (Aaron Johnson), a peaceful and charitable Buddhist, and his closest friend Chon (Taylor Kitsch), a former Navy SEAL and ex-mercenary, run alucrative, homegrown industry—raising some of the best marijuana ever developed. They also share a one-of-a-kind love with the extraordinary beauty Ophelia (Blake Lively). Life is idyllic in their Southern California town…until the Mexican Baja Cartel decides to move in and demands that the trio partners with them. When the merciless head of the BC, Elena (Salma Hayek), and her brutal enforcer, Lado (Benicio Del Toro), underestimate the unbreakable bond among these three friends, Ben and Chon—with the reluctant, slippery assistance of a dirty DEA agent (John Travolta)—wage a seemingly unwinnable war against the cartel. And so begins a series of increasingly vicious ploys and maneuvers in a high stakes, savage battle of wills.

Hate to be boring

But the book was better. The *SPOILER* changed ended was a cop out. (Heh). Also the introduction of Chon's team of army commandos changes the heists and the final shoot-out: the David v. Goliath structure is lost. Read and rate it

Good beginning

The beginning of the movie was put together nicely and worked well, with the right amount of intensity. Towards the end, it gets a little jumbled around and kind of fell apart a bit. Read and rate it
