Directed by: Mike Nichols
Starring: Tom Hanks, Julia Roberts, Philip
Seymour Hoffman
Running Time: 100 minutes
This film is based on the true story of how US congressman Charlie Wilson and CIA operative Gust Avrakotos combined their efforts to launch Operation Cyclone, a program destined to support the Afghan mujahedeen during the Soviet-Afghan War .
The
onscreen chemistry between Tom Hanks and Philip Seymour Hoffman is what carried
this film to its high quality result. They both did such an awesome job
inhabiting their respective characters and they worked well off each other;
it’s a wonderful thing to witness. Julia Roberts, on the other hand, not so
much. She came off as over the top and fake.
This film
is heavy in substance and can be hard to get into, but it is well worth the
effort.
