TOM HANKS NEVER STARS IN A BAD MOVIE

Movie: Charlie Wilson's War
Jan's Rating: 8
Minutes: 97 Minutes

Jan's Opinion: This was a great movie, and a true story. In the '80's, Charlie Wilson, a member of Congress, helped Afghanistan stop the Soviet Union from wiping out their country by providing them with weapons to fight the Russians. Charlie believed whole heartedly in this venture and nothing would stop him from helping Afghanistan. In Charlie's personal life, he was a bit more easy going, loved the women and had few ethics. The funny part of the movie was when he was asked to serve on the Ethics Committee in Washington, DC. Besides Tom Hanks, the movie also stars Phillip Seymour Hoffman and Julia Roberts so you know it can't be bad. My husband and I both enjoyed the movie and it moved right along, never got boring.
