About this product

Product Information

Robert Redford directs and stars in this provocative ode to political activism. Boasting a powerhouse cast that also includes Meryl Streep and Tom Cruise, the film features three storylines centered on the Iraq war. Cruise is Jasper Irving, a rising Republican senator who has summoned Janine Roth (Streep), the head journalist at a large news corporation, to sell her on the government's new military strategy. It's his hope that she in turn will sell the public on the idea. Meanwhile, a history professor (Redford) is trying to convince one of his more promising students to strive to make a difference in the world. Professor Malley believes Todd Hayes (Andrew Garfield) to be a bright young man, and he wants to know why Todd has become so apathetic about his schoolwork, and, after the two banter back and forth about the nature of activism, Malley tells him about two of his former students, Ernest and Arian (Michael Pena and Derek Luke), both of whom are currently serving in Iraq. Unbeknownst to Malley, at that very moment, Ernest and Arian are engaging in the exact military strategy that Senator Irving is discussing with Roth. Their mission has just gone terribly awry, and the men have fallen into enemy territory. So the senator and journalist argue, the professor and student debate, and all the while the wounded soldiers wait desperately for rescue. These disparate storylines slowly build and converge, culminating in a blaring statement about civic responsibility and social conscience.Cruise and Streep are a delight to watch, and their battle of words gives the most heat to the film. As one might expect, it casts an extremely critical eye at the current state of American politics. However, it veers toward hope, and a call to action. Redford, himself a longtime activist, appears to be sending an open letter to America: turn off the celebrity coverage and get involved.

    Patriotism and War - A Liberal View.

    I liked the way the story was told, albeit from a liberal perspective. The acting was good but the language was a little uncalled for.

    Lions for Lambs

    Short and brisk are probably the last words one would think of when it comes to the directing work of Robert Redford, but that's exactly what the latest cinematic critique of the war and general U.S. foreign policy is. What these 88 minutes (!) aren't of course is subtle as it follows three threads: a journalist (Meryl Streep) interviewing a hotshot senator (Tom Cruise) about to enact a new initiative; a professor (Redford) grilling a student (Andrew Garfield) he feels has potential; and two of Redford's former students with potential (Michael Peña and Derek Luke), now fighting as soldiers in Afghanistan. None of these stories go anywhere new, with the one carried by Redford feeling especially forced and artificial (not helped by a very lackluster Garfield), and the film's points are made ...

    Dialogues of the Lambs

    This film is an insightful assessment predominately of the two Republican wars: Afghanistan and the occupation of Iraq from various perspectives. These perspectives include a slippery GOP Senator engaging in Orwellian double speak, half-truths and propaganda; a journalist with honest intentions that recognizes her organization's complicity in selling the war leading to the death of 1000's of Americans founded on lies; two brave ideological students who become Army rangers in the hope of making a difference; a wise college professor that recognizes that in America today, lion warriors fight for lamb leadership which have no skin in the game; and a cynical "every man" college student struggling between apathy and activism. If you are not open to honest dialog and introspection, do not seek ...

    A Movie Whose Time Has Come.

    Redford, Streep, and Cruise take us through a wake up call for Patriotism. A gifted student of Political Science has become 'Comfortably Numb' to the course and no longer shares the passion for learning his instructor once observed. Redford shares the struggle of two previous students now serving in the Military on a snow covered mountain in Afghanistan. The two are under fire and fighting for their lives. During the soldiers struggle for life Cruise, A Senator, is outlining the plan for the future U.S. involvement in Afghanistan to Streep, a reporter of a powerful Washington D.C. news paper. Together they give us food for thought; how do we rebuild the Patriotic momentum lacking in the youth of today. How do we get the students involved? Do away with the 11th grade in high school and ...

    Lions for Lambs

    Although I have some poor reviews of this movie, I thought the subject was gripping and the presentation balanced. I thought the acting eas superior. The presentation of the themes of the movie is well designed by the director. Possibly some people may not like the political content of the mavie as they see it from their prospective but the movie actually presents the struggle anyone faces who wants to make their life purpose worthwhile.
