I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Movies like this are easy to review: absolutely rubbish with no saving grace. As a viewer you are always two steps ahead of the plot, such as it is. At least it doesn't take itself too seriously - except for the bits where someone delivers A Political Message.The acting is not so bad, except for Hilary Duff's awful accent - or should I say accentS since she keeps slipping in and out of hers. But the story goes nowhere. I agree with the anti-war sentiment behind the movie, but the execution is absolutely terrible. Too much kookiness without actually being funny. A movie that will sink without trace.

This film tried to be too many things all at once: stinging political satire, Hollywood blockbuster, sappy romantic comedy, family values promo... the list goes on and on. It failed miserably at all of them, but there was enough interest to keep me from turning it off until the end.Although I appreciate the spirit behind WAR, INC., it depresses me to see such a clumsy effort, especially when it will be taken by its targets to reflect the lack of the existence of a serious critique, rather than simply the poor writing, direction, and production of this particular film.There is a critique to be made about the corporatization of war. But poking fun at it in this way diminishes the true atrocity of what is happening. Reminds me a bit of THREE KINGS, which similarly trivializes a genuine cause for concern.

This is one of the worst films I have ever seen. Despite a very impressive cast, this film fails to deliver. With a plot so predictable and acting well below average, I wonder how this was approved for a release by the production company. There has been an attempt to make the audience laugh. But unfortunately laughter cannot be forced. Only pain can be forced and watching this was a painful experience. I felt many of the actors were not at all interested in acting in this film. But I do not think better acting would have improved the film to a large extent because it was that bad.I do not like to give poor ratings. But I think doing so with this one would be sheer injustice to the good ones out there.I figured out the entire story of the film within minutes of its beginning and was raring to stop watching it.Verdict : Don't even think about watching it!

This is a brilliant political satire. No wonder why it was largely ignored in the U.S.: it exposes our murderous foreign policy for what it really is.Another good film from this era, Rendition, was also totally dismissed simply because it showed, accurately, that the U.S. is a war machine bent on torturing, murdering, and maiming civilians in its quest for total world domination.A clever plot, good acting, some big stars (John Cusack, Ben Kingsley, Marisa Tomei anyone?) and some scenes of hilarity should have made this movie a hit. Unfortunately, Americans don't like to hear the truth about themselves, especially when they are complicit in mass murder.
