Rijndri Load of rubbish!!

Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.

FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

insipidio Tom Hanks was a good version of himself, Julia Roberts showed her usual thin acting, but PSH was outstanding. Totally believable, PSH nailed this , as usual.I was just out of college when this all happened and was fairly unaware. What events are going on right now that I am unaware of and will find out about in a movie, in the future?Fast moving, not too heavy-handed in moviesplaning what the war was about, who the players were, what the interest were.Wish PSH was still with us.

grantss Early 1980s. Charlie Wilson is a relatively unimportant and unproductive Texas congressman. He does have one advantage - he is on two important committees, covering foreign and military policy. He learns of the situation in Afghanistan and how the Russians are treating the Afghanis and is determined to help, through providing the Mujahideen with weapons. This sets in motion an unlikely sequence of deals and alliances. Excellent movie. Covers an important series of events in world history, the short-term consequences of which were positive, the long term less so. Does so in very light, funny fashion. This highlights the farcicalness of some of the events, and helps the story move along. It would have been a very dry movie if it was entirely serious.Despite the non-seriousness of much of the movie, has a very powerful and profound final message.Great acting by Tom Hanks, Julia Roberts and, especially, Philip Seymour Hoffman.

Johan Dondokambey The story opens up with its ending and then build its main character in an eccentric way. The tale is great that it reveals all the reluctance and tolerance found amidst the allying parties in driving the USSR away from Afghanistan. some may see this as an espionage movie, but for me, the main focus here is the lobbyist activities, especially lobbying for budget increase. Tom Hanks as always can present the right set of gestures to convey the character's complexity. Julia Roberts went nicely with the accent and the makeup. AMy Adams sure stand out in giving an alluring performance here. Philip Seymour Hofman was almost unrecognizable if it wasn't for his distinctive voice.

jeomo This movie doesn't need another well-thought-out, well-written review. There are plenty of those here already. However, in reading these reviews, I found that there are also a good number that portray the film as being the exact opposite of what it is. This seems more than merely not helpful, but outright unhelpful.Perhaps it would be useful to clarify that this is not a movie for people who need dots connected for them. It is a movie that lays the dots out for you and leaves it to you to connect them. If you can do that, you will easily understand that this movie has no illusions regarding the ultimate results of Charlie's efforts, and it is most definitely not a movie about America saving the world again.It is also useful to remember that "connect the dots" is a reference to cheesy "art" projects designed for those who have no artistic ability. This is a movie for people who can think, rather than those who must rely on others to do the thinking and then spell everything out for them.
