Are we speaking metaphorically??
If you've seen Grosse Point Blank, you've heard the buzz that this movie is similar, or has a similarly based premise. I disagree. The movie DOES have Johnny as an assasin once again, and has him - once again - internally conflicted regarding the duties of his job require him killing people that, let's face it, probably do more than jaywalk and throw rocks at cars.
However, in War, Inc. the political undercurrent is decidedly angry - not simply at the commercial greed, corroption and facism - but at the senseless violence (and not all of it is from the Turaquistans).
The dialog wasn't as snappy as Grosse - and I found myself wishing Dan Akroyd had a larger part in War. If you're not involved in the movement against the war in Iraq, see this movie; it'll motivate you to get involved. Even if it's a bumper sticker.
Then get the book "The Shock Doctrine" and read it about a hundred times. And if you're still not motivated...you're a republican and probably voted for "Dubya".
