Review of Charlie Wilson's War (2007) by Teresa S — 27 May 2012
Flixster - Share MoviesDecember 2007 (Director: Mike Nichols) This is good movie making! Wonderful performance. Amazing performance by Philip Seymour Hoffman (Twister). I BELIEVED these characters & believed IN them.
Ned Beatty stars as Defense Committee Chairman & Julia Roberts as a religious anti-communist lobbyist. Covert operations, good ol' boys & anti-communism RAH!! I found this quote about middle eastern politics pertinent to the subject of this movie: "During the Reagan years, America's covert help exponentially increased.
