...my enjoyment, but of Nichols' work I felt this film too laid back -- although very important for its subject/relevance.

The moral issue of creating fiascos to somehow mitigate/avoid larger catastrophe was too simply presented imo.

I guess I was waiting for "...Wilson's War" to deliver something I couldn't have expected -- pretty tough thing to do as truth is becoming much stranger than the movies nowadays and few people have the answers.

Always love Philip Seymour Hoffman's work.
