    An assassin posing as a trade-show producer fixes his crosshairs on a Middle Eastern oil minister while maintaining his cover by organizing a high-profile wedding in this satirical action comedy starring John Cusack, Hilary Duff, and Marisa Tomei. A private American corporation run by a former U.S. vice president (Dan Aykroyd) is occupying the war-torn nation of Turaqistan, but a powerful Middle Eastern oil minister is preventing them from taking total advantage of the situation. In order to gain a monopoly on the lucrative opportunities that Turaqistan has to offer, the CEO of the corporation hires an evenhanded hitman named Hauser (Cusack) to take the oil minister out of the picture. Now, in order to carry out the contract without a hitch, Hauser will pose as the corporation's trade-show producer. The stakes are high and the potential for disaster is evident, though if Hauser can successfully organize the wedding of Central Asian pop-star Yonica Babyyeah (Duff), he's got a good chance of pulling it off. But sexy and resourceful left-wing reporter Natalie Hegalhuzen (Tomei) is determined to uncover the truth about what's happening in Turaqistan, and the moment she does, this carefully constructed scheme will crumble like a house of cards. Joshua Seftel directs a screenplay co-written by Mark Leyner, Jeremy Pikser, and producer/star John Cusack. Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

    February 12, 2009: This is my simple review. I really enjoyed Grosse Point Blank and therefore was interested in this movie because of the thin connection. I laughed and laughed at GPB and did not crack a smile at this political rant. I can only guess, since Cusack helped produced it, that it was a form of his (or someone's) venting some Hollywood leftwing view of the war. I just wanted to laugh like I did at GPB. Instead I was ripped off and bored.

    January 04, 2009: I thought this was going to be a Lord of War remake, and instead I was pleasantly surprised to find a witty, ironic screenplay, directed with equal levity and aplomb. Great movie!
