Charlie Wilson’s War

(Universal) 
Starring: Tom Hanks, Julia Roberts, Philip Seymour Hoffman
This is the remarkable true story of party boy congressman Charlie Wilson (Hanks), who ended up leading one of the largest covert military operations in U.S. history. What he did forever changed the course of wisdom in Afghanistan. Hanks is charming and it’s great to have Ms. Roberts back onscreen, but Hoffman, as a foul-mouthed, rugged, no-holds-barred CIA agent, is the one who really shines.
