Lions for Lambs

Well-intentioned, but boring. Unfortunately, it’s this kind of thing that makes the anti-war movement look bad. Everything’s so preachy and on-the-nose. There is no suspense or drama here. So it makes liberals (Redford) look clueless, superior, and pretentious. Cruise plays the only interesting character – a cocky Senator in denial, and a nice spin on his usual persona. Otherwise, this is a dud.
