Amusing satire, if only people realised how much of this is actually true.

This actually has a few really good dramatic scenes, it's a shame its surrounded by completely humourless comedy. and bludgoning "satire". Btw, when is this supposed to be set? Half the references are contemporary which makes NO sense

I like John Cusack but this movie was a huge letdown. Their attempt at satire felt really forced and they went for all of the obvious jokes. I think this would have worked well if it had been more subtle and didn't try so hard to be funny. If you want to watch a great movie with Cusack as an assassin watch Grosse Point Blank instead.

This movie has many similarities with Grosse Point Blank. Although this movie is inferior it still has a lot of enjoyable moments and laughs. The Cusacks, Tomei and Duff are all great in their roles. Overall this is a good satire.

What the FUCK is this film about? God dammit who gave John Cusack a typewriter? Hilary Duff plays a character called "Yonica Babyyeah" for fucks sake. There's even a scene where John walks into a fast food joint and everyone starts yelling at eachother while standing still and then they all jog into the freezer. God dammit. Fuck everything to do with this ridiculous failure of a "political satire" that rapes the Grosse Pointe Blank universe. No.2 on my "Films I wish I could un-see" list.

a political satire with a feel-good ending, who would have thought of that? the movie has a good first 30 min and last 30 min, but the middle is dry and uneventful. it has very little humor actually, but always has a manner of light-heartedness. it would have been much better if the weird satirical wackiness was more prevailant.

Disappointing. It tries to be funny. It is not. It tries to be satirical. It falls flat. It tries to be quirky. It lost me. It tries to be fresh. I guessed the plotline 1/3 way through. Sorry.

Political satire doesn't really cover it -- how about "politically charged mind-f**ck"? Does that explain it? Perhaps they should have spent less time on "political" and "satire" and more one "interesting" and "watchable."

It tries to be witty and satirical, but ultimately its targets have already been better dealt with elsewhere. The result is a listless, spineless, humourless, lifeless movie that really doesn't hold up to any kind of watching on any sort of level whatsoever. If nothing else, it's a blight on John Cusack's generally amazing career.

Successor to Grosse Point Blank my ass. This film fails at the political satire it tries to pass itself off as. The shitty thing is, Cusack still kicks ass in the film, but none of the other actors can pull their weight, from a lackluster Tomei, to an awkward Duff, to about the worst performance I've seen from big sis Cusack (probably the shitty character design). The film can't decide rather it wants to be over the top or not. And it started so well....

Meh. I like John Cusack and I like satire but this just didn't do it for me. Satire doesn't have to be funny but this was obviously trying to be and I only laughed twice. It gets props for being relevant, by showcasing the corporatization of things, mainly war. The plot was really predictable in a lot of ways, though. Didn't really keep me into it like it should have. The action scenes weren't too bad and they had some pretty nice choreography. It needed to try harder.

A wonderfully intelligent combination of political satire and social commentary. There's violence, action, comedy, and drama all rolled into one, with a pretty easy to follow yet predictable plot line. People who don't like it, just don't get and/or are republicans/sheep.
