Savages; The Amazing Spider-Man

Hosted by Joe Morgenstern Jul. 06, 2012 Entertainment
Joe Morgenstern on a 'good and nasty' film, sustained by a 'bouyant spirit, and a 'reboot of a foundering franchise.'

The heart of Savages is a menage a trois -- a women and two men, one of whom wants to get out of the business of selling high-grade dope and into renewable energy.

 

There's plenty of fancy action to appreciate in The Amazing Spider-Man...
