Sauvages

« Instead what he has delivered is overlong, filled with empty characters and bad performances, and an ending that may actually lead audiences to throw things at the screen. »

« En vilains pleins de surprises, les savoureux Benicio Del Toro et Salma Hayek font la barbe à leurs jeunes partenaires, qui défendent des personnages plus superficiels et moins attachants. »

« Sexe, drogue, mais pas de rock n' roll, violence, répliques cyniques, superbes décors, excellents acteurs, etc. Le mélange de ces éléments a pour résultat 130 minutes menées tambour battant, que nous aurions aimées plus mordantes, mais qu'on ne regrette pas d'avoir vues. »

« Le problème d'une production comme Savages, face à laquelle il peut s'avérer assez difficile de se positionner, c'est que ses interprètes, oscillant constamment sur ce fil instable entre drame, suspense et parodie, ne parviennent jamais à adopter le même ton à l'unisson. »

« Shortcomings aside, for about ninety percent of Savages I was having a good time with it, and if you asked me before the climax what I thought of it, I'd say it was a pretty good film version of an amazing book. »

« Oliver Stone hauls the guns and drugs out of his trunk for this brutal, stylish, yet not-all-there film of Don Winslow's best-seller. »

« This druggy crime thriller has a bloated and familiar plot and is plagued by tonal inconsistencies. Everything leads up to a pair of drawn-out climactic resolutions that seek to be all things to all people. »

« One of the jokes in Savages, Oliver Stone's feverish, fully baked, half-great adaptation of Don Winslow's ferocious and funny drug-war novel of the same name, is that the film's title is flung back and forth between north and south - an epithet that is also eventually claimed as a badge of honor. »
