Rotten
The film would have been so much more interesting if the two men had been identical twins played by the same actor-like Jeremy Irons in David Cronenberg's Dead Ringers.

It all smacks of trying too hard to mask the absence of strong material.
Tom Huddleston, Time Out
Rotten
Stone devotes considerable ingenuity to making atrocity appear as a terrifying kind of home movie, but "Savages" is no more than a summertime debauch.
David Denby, New Yorker
Rotten
These are neither good people nor interesting savages, and they're not worth caring about. Neither is the movie.
Rex Reed, New York Observer
Rotten
Savages points to a problem with gifted directors, which Stone is, like him or not: They can make a movie that aggravates, infuriates, falters even, but they can really make a movie.
Lisa Kennedy, Denver Post
