CHARLIE WILSON’S WAR

Story Image


Julia Roberts stars opposite Tom Hanks

Friday May 2,2008

BREEZY satire on American foreign policy, with Tom Hanks as a Congressman knee-deep in foreign intrigue when he starts to finance Afghan rebels in their struggle against the Soviet army.

A true story from the Eighties is turned into a slyly amusing drama, proving that politicians never learn from their mistakes.

Philip Seymour Hoffman offers priceless support as a maverick CIA agent.

OUR VERDICT: 3/5
Cert 15, Universal Pictures UK, DVD: rental and retail.
