War, Inc.

A wacky, over-the-top, outrageous, uneven, chaotic political satire in which a hot-sauce-swigging, mentally troubled CIA assassin (John Cusack) falls for a comely, leftwing journalist (Marisa Tomei) in Turaqistan while posing as a trade show director with the help of his nervous, shrill secretary (Joan Cusack) and planning the wedding of a spoiled, mascara-laden teen pop star (Hilary Duff) after the bigwig (Dan Aykroyd) of a Halliburton-eqsue, war-profiteering company hires him to kill a Middle East oil minister (Lyubomir Neikov) and he receives instructions from a mysterious CIA mentor (Ben Kingsley) housed in a bunker beneath a Popeye's Fried Chicken joint in the battle-weary Emerald City.
