2. Savages (2012)
Oliver Stone’s action thriller ‘Savages’ centers on a woman named Ophelia “O” Sage (Lively), and her two lovers, John “Chon” McAllister Jr. (Taylor Kitsch) and Ben Leonard (Aaron Taylor-Johnson), who run a lucrative marijuana business together in Laguna Beach, California, successfully avoiding the law, thanks to corrupt DEA agent Dennis (John Travolta). One day, they are contacted by a Mexican drug cartel with an offer of partnership, but they refuse. This doesn’t sit well with cartel leader Elena Sánchez (Selma Hayek). She thus kidnaps Ophelia to force Chon and Ben into compliance. However, the act, rather than bending Chon and Ben to Elena’s will, sends them on a warpath of rescue and revenge that will only end with her death. What this results in is a brutal battle between two men out to rescue their ladylove and a dangerous cartel that is all about guns, bullets, and explosions. You can watch ‘Savages’ here.
