Movie: Charlie Wilson’s War
January 27 2008 No Commented
We saw this a week or two ago. I am not the greatest Tom Hanks fan however this was a very interesting story. We were probably half expecting the usual “peace, justice and the American way will prevail” outcome but were quite surprised with this well balanced story.
For a synopsis on the storyline here is the link to the official website.

Memorable quotes:
“You know you’ve reached rock bottom when you’re told you have character flaws by a man who hanged his predecessor in a military coup.”
“These things happened. They were glorious and they changed the world… and then we f****** up the endgame.”
“Why is Congress saying one thing and doing nothing? “, “Well, tradition mostly”
4 out of 5.
