An entertaining political film, it's equal parts thrill and humour, while still staying moderately true to the real-life tale. The flashy "me" culture of the eighties is featured prominently, with Charlie's womanizing ways and Joanne's opulence. It's these details that add flavour to what boils down to a film about a government operation. This story is not exactly light-hearted, though, with something always at stake. This isn't what I expected, but I welcomed this surprise and easily managed to enjoy CHARLIE WILSON'S WAR all the same. I recommend it for at least one watch -- and if you love politics, many more.
