Lions for lambs
I don't know if it's that I find Tom Cruise creepy these days or that I felt like Redford was on a soapbox, not a fan of being preached to, but I wasn't all that thrilled with this movie. Streep was, as always, fantastic.
I'll give it a 6/10. But firmly believe I'll watch it again as I think my opinion may change.
On a side note I went to this movie with a Mexican lady, she picked the film. I found out afterwards that she'd seen it before. I think she was interested in seeing/hearing my take on it. The war, among other US activities around the world, are not real popular down here. She seemed pleasantly surprised to hear I think the Iraq war was and is the biggest bone headed move in US history. Her opinion was that Iraq and Afghanistan were one in the same. We debated a bit and I told her I didn't see it that way at all. I'm sure I didn't sway her opinion. She firmly believes the US should stop trying to be the worlds police and stop telling other countries what and how to do things.
