This movie bore me for about one hour, and it only then get me into the story but still its not going to get any good review from me, because from the start to the end of it, it just a poor make up story.

I thought it will be gonna like something Jurassic Park or more or less like that but it just a pile of mess up story.

Comment: Its a real story and its too real, the movie is present with good dose of reality and the booze and woman line of the story does make me want to be him .... however, this movie appeal to the Asian crowd may be unfair as , no one know who is Charlie Wilson is. However, this movie does deserve to be watched.
