Savages DVD
Oliver Stone (Platoon): three-time Oscar winning filmmaker, always-opinionated and never dull, returns to the director’s chair for the ferocious thriller Savages, based on Don Winslow’s bestselling crime novel.
Once again, Stone takes on a highly relevant issue for 21st America, this time depicting a bitter battle between three successful weed dealers and a vicious Mexican drug cartel. Hard hitting, brutally violent, drug fuelled and action packed, Savages is released on Blu-ray and DVD both with UltraVilolet, and on Digital Download on 11th February 2013.
It’s simple business; design a product that supresses anything else on the market and your customers (and profits) will follow. ‘The product’ in this is a hybrid version of super skunk, farmed by one genius and his ex-soldier buddy, both of whom hold a sincere love for their harvest.
Dealers Ben (Aaron Johnson, Anna Karenina) and Chon (Taylor Kitsch, Battleship) live the perfect pot-head life in California, surrounded by beautiful beaches, stunning women and a fat pile of cash. Life is great for these two best friends who share everything: money, secrets, good times, even women?
Ben and Chon have what seems to be the perfect relationship...with the same girl. Ophelia, or O (Blake Lively, The Town), as she’s affectionately known, is a stunning surfer chick who spends her days high on weed and her two adoring boyfriends. The business runs like clockwork.
But when you’re producing the best weed in the world, sooner or later someone’s going to want in.
When that someone is the head of the Mexican Baja Cartel there’s no easy way to get out and consequences ensue at the hands of the Cartel’s merciless boss, Elena (Salma Hayek, Once Upon a Time in Mexico). The boys’ beloved O is swiftly abducted by Elena’s brutal enforcer, Lado (Benicio Del Toro, Snatch).
Ben and Chon – with the reluctant, slippery assistance of a dirty DEA agent, Dennis (John Travolta, The Taking of Phelham 1,2,3) - launch a seemingly unwinnable war against the drug lords, who seriously underestimate the unbreakable bond between the three, and the drugs war soon escalates into a savage, high-stakes battle of wills.
Savages is available to buy on Blu-ray and DVD, both with UltraViolet, and on digital download from 11th February 2012.
