Review: Charlie Wilson’s War
Nice light drama based on true events. The aspect of one Congressman influencing a full blown war, and even succeeding is interesting on its own, and this movie add some non-typical characters to boot (with Philip Seymour Hoffman being absolutely hilarious). Still somehow, as a drama it’s not dramatic enough, and as a comedy, it’s not funny enough. Besides a whole lot of lobbying, this movie doesn’t provide enough fun, excitement or suspense. Still, combined with the facts you’ve now learned it’s a nice movie to have seen once.7-.
