Lions for Lambs (2007) is very mediocre, which seems a difficult feat given it's star-studded cast. Directed by and starring Robert Redford, along with Meryl Streep and Tom Cruise. Three stories intertwine as the US changes tactics in Afghanistan. It's preachy and tries too hard, with entirely too much uncomfortable grinning. In the end, the moral of the story is convoluted. I think the moral is that idealism on all sides is blind and fool-hearty, but I'm not sure. Don't bother with this one.
