MCT:May 12, 2008The moderate in me wanted to hate this movie at times. There are certainly many idealistic liberal ideas, but then again, the Republican senator has some ideals too. It seems to lean towards the left, though, which always takes away from things for me, but that is not really the focus of this movie, though you wouldn't know that from reviews of this film. The main point about this film is that everybody has to make decisions and pay attention to the world and do something about it. I think it is possible for everyone to relate to at least one character, though I found myself relating to more than one.
This is not an extremely exciting movie, though they try to amp it up with some Afghanistan war scenes, but it is very interesting. Apart from the war scenes, it is basically a movie with separate conversations going on, each of them interesting. I often found myself wishing I was part of the conversation so I could argue a point or bring up an aspect I thought was left out. That is why this movie gets 4 stars from me, it engaged me...completely at times. And I expected to be polarized by this film because I have a preconception about films that handle subject matter that has not been settled historically yet. I sometimes think that these films are not much different than the propaganda films from years ago. Both have messages presented as entertainment trying to tell you to do something, though it is not as overt these days, I still get that feeling. Regardless, this movie made me think and I'm not sure if it was entertaining, but it was certainly engrossing...though it ends so quickly. -
MCT:May 12, 2008This is really three movies in one; related vignettes having to do with the choices of a college poli sci major (newcomer Andrew Garfield), a TV News Channel reporter (Meryl Streep), and two other students who decide to enlist to fight in Afghanistan. Additional characters include the student's professor & mentor (Robert Redford) and the Senator (Tom Cruise) who planted a Republican "propaganda" news story with the reporter. The movie is very deep & serious. All the characters have key decisions to make that affect not only their own lives but issues facing the US--principally the war. Very good movie, although the end leaves you hanging without knowing how the poli sci student decides what path he will take. Hints help you decide. The movie is very topical and it brought out passions in me concerning the war and its impact on lives at all these levels of involvement. Thought provoking, serious, and meaningful. I recommend it.

It's Robert Redford, which pretty much says everything. Meryl Streep and Tom Cruise we're also great and I loved the pacing the movie had. I wanna see it again.

Not a big fan of Cruise, but he performed quite authentically in his role as politician. Of course, Redford and Streep were outstanding. I know some people are going to find this film a little preachy, but I think it was very effective in its messsage to make people think about the price of apathy. It does seem like the movie ended a little too early in the storyline, but I assume it's meant to convey that what's next is up to us. Recommended.
