John Cusack plays Brand Hauser, a hitman hired to assassinate oil minister Omar Sharif in the fictional Middle-Eastern state of Turaqistan, which is now run by American private corporation Tamberlain. But upon encountering the beautiful and intelligent anti-corporation/anti-corruption journalist Natalie (Marisa Tomei) and the overly sexy but incredibly childlike Yonica Babyyeah (Hilary Duff), Hauser slowly falls into moral quandry. 'War Inc' is a political satire aimed at confronting the absurdity and corruption behind modern warfare, but sadly, more often than not, it misses the mark.
