2008 / Jeffrey Nachmanoff > I wanted to like this a lot more than I did. It held my interest for quite a bit until the steam started running out. And then the preaching began. I don’t need Hollywood to patronize me on what’s good and bad. The fact that there’s two sides to every story is nothing new, and the plot twist that occur two-thirds through could be seen fifteen minutes into the show. But Don Cheadle is so watchable that he sometimes carries films, and such is the case here. He’s got a kind of silent charisma that makes you pay attention, hoping for something poignant. Well, it didn’t really happen here, but let’s hope he can make it rain in War Machine. Oh, and Steve Martin wrote this? How Intriguing.
