See more Barry L @BarryLynn Sep 23, 2026 Oh the irony! The United States helped the Afghans win the war against the Soviets, but wouldn't spend the money to build a school. The end result was the Afghanistan today -- or at least that was a contributing factor. The characters are well played, the story is crisply told, and the interplay among the characters keeps the story moving. See more Farah R @Farah Sep 2, 2026 Charlie Wilson’s War is very well made, with sharp writing and stellar acting. I was invested throughout, although I lost the plot a couple of times because of the fast pace and the sheer number of events unfolding. Nevertheless, it was both informative and enlightening, offering an insight into a complex chapter of history. See more Robert C Jun 18, 2026 Great movie. worth seeing for the scene where Emily Blunt wears a sexy white negligee alone. WOW! See more Blake- N @PBSAniDom Apr 29, 2026 "Charlie Wilson’s War" is a sharp, entertaining political drama that balances humor with real-world stakes. Based on George Crile’s book, the film does a great job translating complex history into something engaging and accessible without feeling dumbed down. The script is witty and fast-paced, with dialogue that keeps you hooked from start to finish. The performances are a huge strength, bringing personality and nuance to characters who could’ve easily felt one-dimensional. There’s a strong mix of charm and tension throughout, making the story both fun and thought-provoking. It also subtly highlights how decisions made behind closed doors can have lasting global consequences. Overall, it’s a smart, well-crafted film that manages to be both informative and highly watchable. 8/10. See more Cavanşir G @drgadimov Apr 11, 2026 I watched this movie years ago and it made a lasting impression. It gives the bigger picture of geopolitics. The US supported Afghan fighters against Russia. Later, some of those groups turned into the Taliban. The US gave them weapons, and later those same weapons were used against the US. How ironic. Freedom fighters become terrorists depending on who needs them. That's the hypocritical face of US politics. The movie shows how Wilson provided weapons but not schools—focusing only on the war, ignoring the aftermath. An iconic scene with Russian helicopters and Stinger missiles. My rating is 9 out of 10. If a movie still makes sense and you remember it after almost 20 years, it's great.
