Charlie Wilson's War
 

Just watched Charlie Wilson's War. Anyone else seen this movie? Thoughts?

I thought it was a well put together movie. Not sure about the "based on a true story" thing. Usually when I research movies that make this statement it turns out that yes there was someone who killed someone else... the rest is made up BS invented to make the story more interesting.

Excellent movie, I really enjoyed it, Philip Seymour Hoffman stole the show, he was brilliant.

I can't remember the last movie he was in where he didn't. Well maybe "Capote." But not sure you can steal your own movie. I also can't remember the last movie he did that I didn't like. Really like him, plus I read some where where he said his favorite movie is "Goodfellas." Classic.

I meant to see this, but I haven't gotten around to it. If it's based on the book, then it is the true story. Going on quick searches, I'm pretty sure it's dramatized but accurate other than the few minor scenery and technical errors listed on Wikipedia.
