 (imdb rating: 7.7/10)
This is one of the best movies of the 2007
Plot: A drama based on a Texas congressman Charlie Wilson's covert dealings in Afghanistan, where his efforts to assist rebels in their war with the Soviets have some unforeseen and long-reaching effects.
This may be the best movie of the year that had a terrible trailer A smart movie if that even means anything. Hanks may not be very exciting but he played the charming Charlie Wilson with east. I guess that comes with talent. Another kudos for Philip Seymour Hoffman who's becoming one of my favorite actors Julia Roberts unfortunately looked the freaky .. and that could not just have been the blonde hair Oh yeah, major props to Wilson's staff, the jail bait girls: o-m-g Nichols keeps things moving briskly though a lot of the montages almost got on my nerve (number 1: the first helicopter shooting scene that came right out a video game). Of course, Aaron Sorkin (The West Wing, A Few Good Men) is all over this with the screenplay, people do not talk like this but I wish they did Read a much better review here One sheet  Best line of the movie "we'll see" -the Zen Master Links - http://eddieonfilm.blogspot.com/2006/12/spoonful-of-sugar-makes-histor... - http://www.apple.com/trailers/universal/charliewilsonswar/ Last Updated 4/2/2008 9:08:32 AM 1hr 37min / Directed by Mike Nichols / Starring Tom Hanks, Julia Roberts, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Amy Adams, Shiri Appleby / Language: English / Watched: DVD Also by Mike Nichols - filmography (5 movies)
