Although it took place in the past, it is very relevant to the present. Great cast!

Great movie. Everyone should see it to know what's happening over there now.

This was one show that I was looking forward to seeing for the past six months. I wasn't expecting a huge spy caper slash action flick in this show, but rather a character driven historical drama that fires on all eight cylinders. Tom Hanks star power doesn't seem to overshadow the character that he's portraying as it did in the Da Vinci code. Julia Roberts has a good outing playing the Houston Socialite that pushes Wilson into supplying the Afghan fighters. Perhaps though my favorite part of this show is Phillip Seymour Hoffman's portrayal of the uncouth Central Intelligence agent Gust Avrakotos, Hoffman again shows why he's one of the best actors to come out of Hollywood in the past twenty years. It should be pointed out that this is a political movie that not everyone might enjoy which is why I didn't give it a rating of "Must Go", but regardless of your political alliances regardless of what is fiction and what isn't, it at least raises awareness to study our history.

We thought it was incredibly well done! Gave info we were not aware of re: Afghanistan, et. And a confirmation of how we feel our government/congress works/doesn't work with our tax dollars. Tom Hanks was wonderful!! This is my third attempt to submit a review...what is going on? A bit discouraging and time waste

This is a movie for grown ups. There is very little violence, and language and sexual situations that will not surprise anyone who actually lived through the eighties. Only the most thoughtful, history loving teen would have any interest in this film at all. It was an interesting study of the political world. The acting is amazing. The moral issues raised by the film are haunting. I enjoyed it very much, so did my husband.
