In this satire of the commercialization and 'lightheartedness' of war, John Cusack plays Brand Hauser, an assassin sent to to 'Turaqistan' to take out Omar Sharif, who is doing some oil business that will spell trouble for the former Vice President of the US's own company
, the American Petroleum Institute. Haider is a perfect foil for Brand, and the two are perfect friends. The film is also a great comedy, with great performances by the great John Goodman, Robert De Niro, Michael Caine, Richard Gere, George Cukor, William H. Macy, James Stewart, Charles Bronson, David Morse, Peter Falk, Paul Verhoeven, Frank Sinatra, Bill Paxton, Jack Nicholson, Tom Hanks, Billy Crystal, Ray Charles, Jerry Bruckheimer, Jim Carrey, Joe Pesci, Mark Wahlberg, Gary Cooper, Bruce Willis, Ed Wood, Steve Martin, Gene Kelly, Bob Hope, Fred Astaire, Jimmy Stewart and many others. This is one of those films that you can watch and laugh at, but you will not be able to enjoy it. It is not a comedy. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys the comedy of a war movie. If you are a fan of John Carradine, you may enjoy this film. But if you like John's work, this is the film for you. You will enjoy the movie more than the other films. And if your a John, I recommend this to you as well. <3/10. 7/
 and his family. Haider is a perfect foil for Brand, and the two are perfect friends. The movie has some good moments, but it is not a great movie.
