Charlie Wilson's War [Blu-ray] [Standard]

Great retelling of historical event, captured in full high-definition. Tom Hanks is his usual self, however does over-act in a few scenes.

Bought this for my friend had never seen it before enjoyed it just scary to think it's based on a true story

I loved sharing movie with other people and they loved it, too!

There's a certain champagne mood to "Charlie Wilson's War" that's entertaining, hitting a handful of magnetic highlights, but there are only a few nibbles of dramatic meat on these bones. The movie isn't built for depth, preserving more of an overview of Wilson's rather remarkable run as the ringleader of this armament effort, using his charms and connection to unite opposing Middle Eastern forces and woo fellow congressmen into place. It's a remarkable story with a grim conclusion, yet "Charlie Wilson's War" doesn't test extremes. It's more comfortable in the middle, laboring to squeeze laughs and a few guffaws out of the tale, keeping tight on its subject and his remarkably casual way with global change.

I saw this movie in the theater in 2007 and considered it among my favorites for that year. I still feel that way. The film did a spectacular job highlighting the endeavors of Charlie Wilson’s during the Soviet–Afghan War. Tom Hanks was amazing. I enjoyed this movie so much I had to own it.
