Overview
The true story of Texas congressman Charlie Wilson's covert dealings in Afghanistan, where his efforts to assist rebels in their war with the Soviets had some unforeseen and long-reaching effects.
This is the perfect example of where the rottentomatoes score is completely misleading. I can see how it got an 82% as it wasn’t terrible. That said, the parts where a zillion times better than the sum. And let me get this straight – a democratic had to try to convince republicans to go to war? Please. From what I read the story is pure fiction.
