Hoffman saves this from meh territory. He's perfect, as always
To be honest, it’s been years since I’ve seen it, but it was okay.
It's a film about how a congressman alters the course of the 80s conflict in Afghanistan
Excellent political drama. Feels topical even after 15 years.
Sorkin’s writing shines; Hoffman carries the weight of the film. Yet it also felt like a run-of-the-mill biopic that came out of the 2000's.
A entertaining movie about an interesting subject in U.S history.
Easily has my favorite performance from Philip Seymour Hoffman
Politician lobbied for missiles against Russians in Afghanistan. Hanks good. Hoffman great as chain wearing, open shirt SOB w/ black hair.
Aaron Sorkin, Philip Seymour Hoffman, '80s politics, Come on! this movie has a classic! Hanks performance is pretty flat however.
Wonderful if you're interested in political affairs and backgrounds, especially on why US politics are a mess. Characters r fantastic filled
