Lions for Lambs


'BORING and UNENTERTAINING AT ALL.....'

I watched this movie last saturday night with friends.. initially we are still thinking whether to watch this one or 'Stardust'.. saw the trailer of 'Stardust' and not really interested on it so much.. never seen the trailer of 'Lions for Lambs'.. just known that it is a movie about the war between US and Iraq.. finally we decided to go for this one due to the actors in this movie are suppose should be great.. especially Meryl Streep (who don't like her... everybody even like her more after 'The devil wears prada'...)

Here are the plot of the movie :-
Lions for Lambs begins after two determined students at a West Coast University, Arian (Derek Luke) and Ernest (Michael Pena), follow the inspiration of their idealistic professor, Dr. Malley (Robert Redford), and attempt to do something important with their lives. But when the two make the bold decision to join the battle in Afghanistan, Malley is both moved and distraught. Now, as Arian and Ernest fight for survival in the field, they become the string that binds together two disparate stories on opposite sides of America. In California, an anguished Dr. Malley attempts to reach a privileged but disaffected student (Andrew Garfield) who is the very opposite of Arian and Ernest. Meanwhile, in Washington D.C. the charismatic Presidential hopeful, Senator Jasper Irving (Tom Cruise), is about to give a bombshell story to a probing TV journalist (Meryl Streep) that may affect Arian and Ernest's fates. Written by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer

My conclusion of this movie is 'Boring and unentertaining at all........', get very disappointed!! Meryl Streep who is still the best among all 3, i like the way she interviewing Tom Cruise.. the words she used, the way she asking questions and her face expression are cool... but just that, she always look tired in the whole movie.. which makes me tired looking at her too.. haha!! for Tom Cruise, nothing special about his role beside he knows how to hard sell his sexy eye sign.. haha!! Robert Redfort's role is very boring.. i don't like to see his face neither he talks.. by the way this movie is directed by him as well, no wonder so boring...

Anyway, no recommended this movie to any of my friend... because i worried they might come to kick my back... haha!!
