Charlie Wilson's War

Want a quick lesson in government and covert operations - done with wit & charm? Rent Charlie Wilson's War with Tom Hanks, and Julia Roberts. It is a clever, honest, and funny look at the halls of Congress. Hanks is wonderful and well suited for the role. Roberts is more than just a pretty face. It is the 1980s of cocaine, sexual liberation, and fast times in D.C. Most people don't even know where Afghanistan is nor anything about the Soviet invasion. It is the last days of the great USSR. Afghanistan was Russia's Vietnam. There is nudity and a lot of F-words thrown around. But move beyond them and enjoy the history lesson.
