Charlie Wilson's War
Charlie Wilson was a bachelor congressman from Texas who had a habit of showing up in hot tubs with strippers and cocaine. His "Good Time Charlie" exterior, however, masked an extraordinary mind, a deep sense of patriotism and a passion for the underdog, and in the early 1980s the underdog was Afghanistan-which had just been brutally invaded by the Russians.
Its a very well written and greatly performed film about the event that will end up biting on America's ass. What is really charming about this film is that it doesn't play it too serious and overly dramatic as it is provided by the humor and dialogue that keeps the film momentum really going. Even the ending has some little humor to it. Tom, Julia and Phillip are Oscar-winners and they showed how much of great actors they really are. Check it out.
4 out of 5 stars
