Charlie Wilson's War review
Daniel Corleone - wrote on 11/29/11
A film about making a difference which stems from the hearts of the real Congressman Charlie Wilson (Tom Hanks), his glamorous friend Joanne Herring (Julia Roberts) and just CIA operative Gust Avrakotos (Philip Seymour Hoffman). Amazing to see how a "real" person despite the drugs and womanizing still has the capacity to help the Pakistani's against the war between the Russians. Philip Seymour Hoffman was sensational and the screenplay well written. The rest of the film however lacks the humor and any distinct factor to make it memorable. Special features on the DVD were a delight. Charlie Wilson's War is definitely worth a look.
