Lions For Lambs (2007)
No one can deny Robert Redford’s movie star bonafides. Handsome and charming, Redford makes a welcome addition to any film. However, Redford has struggled to retain those likable traits when he steps behind the camera to direct. As a director, Redford tends to take a heavy hand, sacrificing dramatic tension to underline his movies’ important themes.
No movie underscores this problem like Lions For Lambs, a Gulf War treatise written by Matthew Michael Carnahan. Redford stars alongside fantastic actors such as Glenn Close and Tom Cruise but asks them to deliver overwrought monologues. Even those who agree with the politics of Lions For Lambs feel harangued by the movie’s self-righteousness.
