Lions for Lambs

It has been a while sine I have seen a very good movie. This one was preset for greatness even before it came out and the fact that the buzz is that it will take the Oscar gives it some good marks.

But this is not what sets this movie apart from all the others we have seen about Iraq, Afghanistan and war on terror and politics. This is one action packed movie in the short 1 hour 20 mins it runs. Yes its that short but in that time it covers 3 stories in 3 different places and the in movie time span in same as the movie 80min.

So what will you get out of this movie. For one great acting from Tom Cruise, Meryl Streep and Robert Redford. They are all at the top of there game and the directing from Robert Redford is no less impressive. The actors in this movie have a key roll since there direct one on one performance is the key to sending the message to the viewer. And what is the message well that is in the eye of the beholder. Since we watched it in a larger group it gave more or less everyone a personal take on it. I will not say more about it since talking about some of the expects and points it hits will damage the experience for those that havnt seen it yet.

So all in all it all this is a must see movie if for nothing else the the style of story telling[closest one that comes to it is Babel] and the the great actor on actor interaction.
