Lions For Lambs

Directed by and starring Robert Redford, ‘Lions For Lambs’ is a dialogue-heavy piece about American politics relating to its war in the Middle East. It traverses between three connected stories, each happening at the same time.

In a Californian college Robert Redford’s character, political lecturer Dr Malley, is meeting with a promising but apathetic student. In Afghanistan, two of Malley’s former students are now soldiers trying to survive an ambush. In Washington DC, a senator (Tom Cruise) is giving an interview to a reporter (Meryl Streep) about a new war effort that is about to be implemented.

Lions For Lambs

You could call this film left-wing propaganda but it’s not totally preachy. It leaves some questions and decisions to the audience. But with all the neocon fear mongering from right-wing loonies, it’s important that proper logical thinking is put into the mainstream. Anyway, 5 crumbs out of 10.
