Charlie Wilson's War has a lot more talking in it than I anticipated. It's been sitting waiting for me to watch it for ages, and whilst I did want to see it, there was always something that looked more appealing on my movie list. After having watched it, that's still a fairly good analysis of how I feel about the movie.
Tom Hanks plays Charlie Wilson, a Texas congressman who gets involved in the Russia/ Afghanistan conflict. In order to help Afghanistan fight back, he manages to acquire millions of American dollars. It's an interesting story, and not one I knew much about before watching this. But I feel like I could have learnt the same things from a book, and probably found the learning process more enjoyable.
Rating: 2.5 out of 5
