With all the cartel and gang violence happening south of the border it would be a shame not to have a proper movie made by a fitting director. Oliver Stone thinks big and he’s the right moviemaker to tackle American on Mexican drug trade violence in Savages, slated for a July 6 release (Universal). At least, that’s the impression we got after watching the trailer which was just released. You want to become a filmmaker? This is how movies are made.

Savages stars Taylor Kitsch, Aaron Johnson, Salma Hayek, John Travolta and Benicio del Toro in the role of the Mexican druglord.
