Taboo





Completing the trifecta of drugs, weapons and cigarettes, Aaron Eckhart plays Nick Naylor, the charismatic lobbyist for the tobacco industry who backed up by scientists that could “disprove gravity” and an army of lawyers keep the government from messing with the tobacco industries profit margins.

The MOD squad made up by David Koechner playing Bobby Jay Bliss (lobbyist for the firearms industry), Maria Bello playing Polly Bailey (lobbyist for the Alcohol industry) and Nick Naylor meets every week in a private venue and discusses the problems faced by their industries with the intent of brainstorming new and efficient ways of ensuring they block any attempt at limiting their profits .

“The beauty of argument is that if u argue correctly you are never wrong” and Nick Naylor excels at arguing and with the biggest threat to the tobacco industry on its way his skills will be put to the test. Being exposed to more intimate affairs of the tobacco industry he is thrown into a more complicated and interesting story.

A story full of up’s and downs, tests and struggles oddly enough a story the whole family would enjoy … to some extent, that will really make you laugh and think.
