War! What is it good for? Good Movies. Yeah!

Everybody's favourite scruffy leading man, John Cusack, looks finally set to release his long-awaited anti-war satire War Inc.

In it he plays a conflicted hit man called Brand Hauser, which is a shame because it would have been so nice if he'd been called Martin Blank, who has been hired by a well-connected US corporation to eliminate a troublesome Middle-Eastern politician.

Of course complications ensue, in the form of a romance with a sassy journalist. Expect sharp dialogue, comical misunderstandings, and a moderate amount of gunplay.

As well as bringing his sister Joan along for the ride, Cusack also plays alongside Marisa Tomei and the miraculously successful pop starlet Hilary Duff.

Cynical satire, war, appealing young ladies and the always watchable Cusack? We're there.
