I'm not sure about this one. I don't like Julia Roberts. I'm ambivalent about Tom Hanks. I love Phillip Seymour Hoffman. I'm loving Amy Adams. I have trouble with the fact that I know what happens after the movie ends and it's not good.
It's the story of (Tom Hanks as) Charlie Wilson (with Julia Roberts as Joanne Herring whispering (loudly) directions in his ear) and how he managed to hoodwink Congress into allotting money for arms to aid the Afghans against the Soviets.
I just don't know about this one. It's not executed poorly in any real way but I'm troubled by the situation presented in the movie (and was prior to watching it) and I just don't know . . . .
