Charlie Wilson's War Ratings & Reviews
- neuroparadoxSeptember 27, 2025Was almost refreshing too see a distant past where politicians tried to actually hide their "maneuvering" of the system. PS, I miss Phillip Seymour Hoffman 😢♥️
- mickerdooJuly 25, 2025Core cast is phenomenal and the story really is outstanding. Good note about funding interests rather than needs.
- another92May 14, 2025Philip Seymour Hoffman steals the show but still one of my favorite Tom Hanks roles. The character is great and the movie is pure fun. Imminently rewatchable.
- David DanielNovember 2, 2024ideologically insufferable, some good scripting and performances
