Charlie Wison's War - 2007Charlie Wilson was a congressman from Texas, who loved the ladies and mixed them with whiskey. He also fell into getting involved with the Soviets invasion of Afghanistan with the help of a Houston socialite and a CIA agent.
I enjoyed this little romp and thought it was a good little insight into the US involvement in the region. I enjoyed Tom Hanks performance but was a little thrown by Julia Roberts trying to pretend to be someone else. You know what I mean? Usually she is playing some version of cute, this time cute and older and in a bad bad wig. Besides the wig distraction it was an entertaining view, just maybe suited for the grown ups, as it might make the kids yawn a bit. 3/5 today.
