Lions for Lambs
At first I was excited for the movie “Lions for Lambs.” Tom Cruise, even though he’s insanely crazy in real life, is still a phenomenal actor. Meryl Streep always gives great performances, especially when she’s a woman who’s supposed to step on people to get her way. Robert Redford is an acclaimed director and actor, so what’s not to love about this film?
Well, it would seem after reading extensively about it, “Lions for Lambs” is a political grudge-fest with all these celebrities venting their political ideas on screen. They just look silly when they do it in life for real, so it would seem they’ve made their movie as a stage for political propaganda.
If this movie is a political movie, I don’t care. If this movie is a political diatribe, I might get a little tired of it.
I am pre-emptively on the fence about this movie, but we’ll see how I vote next week.
