joshua seftel first film a satire of memorable proportion be about just a the title suggest represent the corporation effect on war . the film be about a mercenary ( john cusack ) travel to turaqistan ( not a real country and fyi ) to help the american government get their message across to turaqistan leader . he meet a reporter ( marisa tomei ) and we all know what will ensue with a lonely man plus a hot reporter . somewhere in the mix and a pop star name yonica babyyeah get throw in . a yonica be marry one of turaquistan most important people ( a son of the president ) and a subplot be create where the mercenary must watch over this star and well and somewhat . the film start off with a lonely cusack in a bar while no more than fifteen second later and the film hook you . with it amuse and intrigue insight on terrorism and politics and the film run time blow by you . the film have a lot more action than i expect and with the occasional scene of war and well choreographed fight and just sporadic scene of murder . though the story isn not much deep and the simplicity of it all make the film perfect for both the common man and movie critic alike . in the final act of the film and the simplicity of it all turn very hostile and jumbled . i think it be execute very well and but other may disagree and and i could understand why . twist after twist be what the end be all about and and like most film and it be a true hit or miss situation . regardless and the three writer on the film ( mark leyner and jeremy pikser and john cusack ) do a fantastic job create a realistic and entertaining satire on today situation overseas . joshua seftel do an excellent job insure the film integrity while not reduce the material to the most redundant of film ( which i be afraid would happen ) . seftel craft the film as perfectly a one could represent he create a vibrant atmosphere and one that be both examines harsh reality and cartoonish falsity while contrast them perfectly as well a make the film feel a if you be watch it all . seftel really get you involve in all of the action and it pay off completely . no misstep here . hopefully and he take on more directorial job and for he be one director to look out for .
