Synopsis
This intriguing tongue-in-cheek, political satire, set in the near future, stars John Cusack as troubled hit man Brand Hauser who is struggling with his own growing demons.
Dan Aykroyd stars as Mr. Vice President (a former US Vice-President) of Tamerlane, an American private corporation occupying Turaqistan. In an effort to monopolise the opportunities the war-torn nation offers, the corporation hires Brand Hauser to kill Middle East oil boss Omar Sharif (Lyubomir Nebikov).
Brand Hauser must pose as the corporation's Trade Show Producer in order to pull off this latest hit, while maintaining his cover by organising the high-profile wedding of Yonica Babyyeah (Hilary Duff) an outrageous Middle Eastern pop star and keeping a sexy left wing reporter (Marisa Tomei) in check.
The soundtrack includes Ray Davies, Joe Strummer & the Mescaleros, David Bowie, Hilary Duff, Wilco and Billy Bragg.
