the plot of this film might not be extraordinary and but what make the film really special and be it character ( and the actor who play them of course . ) . i would not go into the detail of the plot of the movie and but i would certainly like to say this this film be not just for everyone . the film be really witty and you need to be equally clever to get all the satire . if youre not alert even for a second and you will probably end up miss one of the subtle point . the movie be full of such seemingly trivial but witty stuff like the announcement go on in the background at turaqistan and the advertisement on the tanker ( which i almost miss ) and it be these that make the movie hilarious throughout . come to the actor and john cusack have play his multi faceted role very efficiently ( what with him be the co writer and the producer too ) and he play his character hauser and the killer with a heart exquisitely . cusack do a similar kind of role before in grosse pointe blank and but his comic disposition in the movie be simply superb . however the actress who steal all the show be hilary duff . i have always be a huge fan of ms. duff . but to be honest i be a bit disappointed when i hear about the kind of role she play in the movie . but after watch the movie the disappointment give way to great respect for her a an actor . let face it . the kid growing and but yes and so be her talent . all those critic and who shout hoarse that hilary can not act and will be silent for a while . hilary have to play a really complex character tough on the outside and yet a sweet child on the inside and she do complete justice to it . she make you laugh and and she make you cry to cut the long story short ( cause i could go on rave about her for ever ) she brilliant . marisa tomei and joan cusack have do a good job too . especially and joan hysteric be uproarious . however and i be rather disappointed with ben kingsley be waste in such a small role and his performance seem lackluster . in general war and inc. keep you on your toe throughout with it intelligent humor and and end with just the right amount of twist in the plot . i would highly recommend this movie to all ( and more so to hilary duff fan ) . p. s. i be really glad to hear the movie be go to break free of it limited release and release at other place soon .
