when he is able to arrange a sit down meeting in Cairo between an Israeli gun merchant and the Asst. Defense Minister of Egypt who is being convinced to go into a covert war with Israel, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Afghanistan while his boss is being seduced by a belly dancer from Texas! It’s true?
Throw in a renegade CIA agent played by Philip Seymour Hoffman, who had to be the only agent during that period who hadn’t graduated from Princeton, and you get a mile a minute story that takes place in Washington, Texas, Pakistan and Afghanistan and Egypt. Throw in some actual 1980s film footage of Dan Rather broadcasting from Afghanistan and the story really comes to life. I still remember him in those clips.
The story is intense with a dynamite screenplay written by Aaron Sorkin which is based on the novel written by George Crile. Mike Nichols directs. What a combination.
There is a lot of banter that keeps your attention and keeps you laughing but the real story is serious. This is the story of how and why the Taliban is in Afghanistan.
The film is rated R for strong language, nudity, sexual content and drug use. The martinis were the least of it!
