Title: Sorkin, Nichols, Hanks, Hoffman Shine
Product review: Aaron Sorkin writes political drama better than anyone. I liked absolutely EVERYTHING about this film. I am one of those snooty CNN watching American's who overestimates my grasp of history. Gotta' say, I didn't know anything about this segment of the cold war and am I embarrassed. Aaron, I'm eating crow.Sorkin's dialog can sometimes be called "snappy patter" but it is always smart as well as witty. Nichols is a master and has not lost his magic touch since he started directing in the 70's. Hanks has become that old dependable leading man who's paid his dues and actually learned from his early mistakes (Joe vs the Volcano? what WAS he thinking). Hoffman was born to play this role and should have received the Academy Award for this performance.The film told the story of an anti-hero who changed the world. Unfortunately even Charlie couldn't save the world. bg
