  1. Quality Help-l
  2. Really Great 4.5

    Superb cast, superb script. The only thing that I was disappointed in was that they, in the words of Charlie Wilson, “fucked up the endgame” … there was no mention of the fact that the US supplying weapons, money, and training to the Afghans against the Soviets is what eventually gave Al Qaeda their weapons and training.

  3. Perfect 5.0

    Tom Hanks, Philip Seymour Hoffman, and Julia Roberts are a hardhitting frontline, backed by an excellent supporting cast that includes Amy Adams (Giselle in Disney’s “Enchanted”).

  4. Male Stars Perfect 5.0
  5. Female Stars Perfect 5.0
  6. Female Costars Perfect 5.0
  7. Male Costars Perfect 5.0
  8. Perfect 5.0
  9. Direction Perfect 5.0
  10. Play Perfect 5.0

    Witty dialogue creates a great satire of politics while still bringing across the story of what this Congressman of low standing was able to bring around.

  11. Music Perfect 5.0
  12. Visuals Perfect 5.0
  13. Content Help-l
  14. Risqué 1.7
  15. Sex Titillating 2.1

    Topless strippers in a hot tub.

  16. Violence Fierce 2.0

    Some actual war footage.

  17. Rudeness
  18. Glib 1.2
  19. Circumstantial Glib 1.6

    Based off a book account of what Charlie Wilson did.

Regarding BigdaddyDave’s Review
Two fascinating observations in your review BigD:

  • Afghan music overlaid atop European.
  • Afghan actors listed below their European peers. For shame.

I’m glad you agreed with me. I have come across some Julia Roberts fans that think anything she does is gold. Unfortunately for them, I don’t have the same view. I think that Julia has done some incredible acting, but it’s limited and those incredible roles are normally few and far between.
