Waste of time

Reviewer: Lilu

This movie is waste of time and money. I have not seen anything so boring and pointless in years. Whole movie i was waiting for culmination, but the movie was finished suddenly before something interesting had happened... Very dissapointing...

CAPTAIN KAFF!

Reviewer: Cap Kaff
Date: 19/11/2007

 
Unlike a vast majority of reviews criticsizing the complexity of this movie I am going to disagree!
Lions for Lambs is basically a political based discussion regarding the American/Afganistan war from 2001/07.
We receive strong opinions for/against the war and the end of the movie emphasis the fact that we dont always have the option to physically express our views or even more so have the power to do something,but to live on and try to accept that somes things are clearly the way they are and do what ever little helps!!!
Don't expect Lions for Lambs to be a typical action movie! It's clearly a practical disscussion throughout!

Where did it all go wrong?

Great cast, strong characters.....just kept waiting for a story to develop and start...and waiting.....then the lights came back on. I got the US poitical, hard choices message after the first half hour, then the characters and developed, the tension builds and.... nothing. Game over. Filled time. Rather it hadn't.
