Description: Disillusioned assassin Brand Hauser (John Cusack) is sent to chaotic post-war Turaqistan to do some dirty work for the corporate conglomerate that masterminded America's "first fully outsourced" conflict in this blunt satire of U.S. involvement in Iraq. The cast, which includes Hillary Duff as lewd Central-Asian pop-tart Yonica Babyyeah, is uniformly strong, but the screenplay's moments of pitch-black comedy are undermined by a sentimental ending. Marisa Tomei, Joan Cusack, Ben Kingsley.
