- Critics' reviews
-
-
"Charlie Wilson's War is that rare Hollywood commodity these days: a smart, sophisticated entertainment for grownups."
-
"While not deeply insightful, Charlie Wilson's War is an eye-opening and sassy tale"
-
"Charlie Wilson's War is an anachronism, the wrong movie at the wrong time. Not only does it tell its tale in a style that feels dated and artificial, the story itself focuses on events that history has overtaken."
