Less a war drama than a set of dueling position papers.

Overview
Three stories told simultaneously in ninety minutes of real time: a Republican Senator who's a presidential hopeful gives an hour-long interview to a skeptical television reporter, detailing a strategy for victory in Afghanistan; two special forces ambushed on an Afghani ridge await rescue as Taliban forces close in; a poli-sci professor at a California college invites a student to re-engage.

It means to use the Cruise-Redford-Streep star power to get us talking about things we ought to be talking about.

Rotten
The film is built not upon characters and plot but upon ideas. That would be fine if the ideas were revolutionary or interesting, but they're fairly commonplace.
James Berardinelli, ReelViews

It's definitely flawed but I am recommending it.

Rotten
There is much talk of paralysis in Robert Redford's what's-wrong-with-America movie Lions for Lambs, and there is a whole lot of the same in the movie itself.
Geoff Pevere, Toronto Star
