Red Band Clip from 'Savages'

This rollout is very smooth. Clip is easy to watch, very edgy. Benicio Del Toro is about as dangerous a character as I've seen and John Travolta -- you can't tell whether he's playing the sap because he's that smart or because he's...a sap.

'Savages' has a cool look, characters with depth, and the action will be gritty and nasty and will have people talking.

Poster for 'Killing Season'

Thing is, this is directed by Mark Johnson (Ghost Rider) and written by Evan Daughtery (Snow White and the Huntsman). Along with Robert De Niro and John Travolta, that's enough. I like this storyline:

• ...set in the Smoky Mountains about an American military veteran (Robert De Niro) who has retreated to a remote cabin in the woods. When a rare visitor, a European tourist (John Travolta), appears on the scene, the two men strike up an unlikely friendship. But, in fact, the visitor is a former Serbian soldier bent on revenge. What follows is a tense, action packed battle across some of America’s most forbidding landscape that proves the old adage: the purest form of war is one-on-one. 

I know...but it's got something. Here's hoping.
