Has anyone seen "War Inc" with John Cusack, Joan Cusack, Marissa Tomei and Dan Ackroyd as Cheney?

The movie is about the first middle eastern war to be entirely outsourced to the former vice president's company.

It is really good, has anyone seen it?

2. Yep, saw it a few years back. Very good movie.

It hits all the right buttons. Recommended. Hilary Duff is also surprisingly good in it. Bushbots didn't like it, naturally, so it never became the hit it deserved to be.

4. yes, I was totally impressed with Hilary Duff in this

It must have gotten absolutely no publicity whatsoever.

I wish I could put that one scene on youtube, where the goofy terrorist group was hired to do a beheading to promote more war....

7. It was pretty sucky.

I saw it a year or so ago on Netflix of Amazon.
It was just boring.
Too bad, really, such a good cast.

8. boring? Did we see the same movie?

So rare we have a film actually exposing the bullshit of war in the middle east, can't see how anyone would find that boring.

10. Sadly, I have to agree.

I rushed out to see it when it first came out, and I really wanted to love it.
Unfortunately, I found it artless and flat. It left me cold.
Pains me to say it, but it's true.

Your mileage may vary, of course.

9. Thanks for the heads up on it. nt

11. It is a low budget film

IIRC, Cusack funded it out of his own pocket. The special effects are pretty cheesy, but the biting emotion of the satire, especially in the context of the Iraq war fiasco, is powerful.

And yes, Hilary Duff gave a memorable and impressive performance.
