DVD Synopsis

An assassin posing as a trade-show producer fixes his crosshairs on a Middle Eastern oil minister while maintaining his cover by organizing a high-profile wedding in this satirical action comedy starring John Cusack, Hilary Duff, and Marisa Tomei. A private American corporation run by a former U.S. vice president (Dan Aykroyd) is occupying the war-torn nation of Turaqistan, but a powerful Middle Eastern oil minister is preventing them from taking total advantage of the situation. In order to gain a monopoly on the lucrative opportunities that Turaqistan has to offer, the CEO of the corporation hires an evenhanded hitman named Hauser (Cusack) to take the oil minister out of the picture. Now, in order to carry out the contract without a hitch, Hauser will pose as the corporation's trade-show producer. The stakes are high and the potential for disaster is evident, though if Hauser can successfully organize the wedding of Central Asian pop-star Yonica Babyyeah (Duff), he's got a good chance of pulling it off. But sexy and resourceful left-wing reporter Natalie Hegalhuzen (Tomei) is determined to uncover the truth about what's happening in Turaqistan, and the moment she does, this carefully constructed scheme will crumble like a house of cards. Joshua Seftel directs a screenplay co-written by Mark Leyner, Jeremy Pikser, and producer/star John Cusack. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

This is the worst movie I have seen in years. I'd rather watch Freddy Gets Fingered. Oye, avoid this one!

Being a John Cusack fan, I had to see this. John tends to be doing some movies of this bent: HiFidelity, Never get out of the Boat, Buy the Ticket, take the ride, Floundering etc. I also know that as much as I love John's work every few years he does a stinker. This was like Wag the Dog, but not as funny. Then again,to some people it was hilarious. So you will love it or hate it. I found it worth watching just to see John and his sister Joan, but I regret buying it new. Does that help? Hillary Duff was the creepiest & scariest thing in this war zone movie. Oh and John really kicks butt and that was awesome, so worth watching but still not worth buying new.
