Savages (I) (2012)
7/10
Entertaining Adventure
5 July 2013
In California, the former Navy SEAL Chon (Taylor Kitsch) and his best friend, the peaceful botanist Ben (Aaron Johnson) are successful entrepreneurs producing and dealing high-quality weed. Chon brought seeds from Afghanistan and Ben used his knowledge to develop the best marijuana in the country. Chon and Ben share the pothead lover Ophelia (Blake Lively) and she loves both of them since they complete each other - Chon is a powerful and strong lover and Ben is a sensible and loving lover.

Their comfortable life changes when the Mexican Baja Cartel demands a partnership in their business. Chon and Ben refused the deal and the leader of the cartel Elena (Salma Hayek) sends her right-arm in America, Lado (Benicio Del Toro), to abduct Ophelia to press the American drug dealers. Chon and Bend ask the support of the dirty DEA Agent Dennis (John Travolta) and get inside information to begin a secret war against the Baja Cartel to release Ophelia.

"Savages" is an entertaining adventure about a war between drug dealers. The plot is a sort joke with the modernization of "Butch Cassidy and Sundance Kid", with two charming drug dealers and one gorgeous mistress. Inclusive there is a reference to this movie when O is talking to Chen and Ben after a threesome. And maybe this is the greatest flaw of the plot, with apology for drugs and giving glamor to two drug dealers and one promiscuous woman. My vote is seven.

Title (Brazil): "Selvagens" ("Savages")
