No Way
According to Anthony Lane's New Yorker review of Lions For Lambs:
The three stories are intercut through-out the film, to lend it at least the illusion of momentum. Sadly, unless you are Jean-Luc Godard, the sight of your characters discussing the political ethics of their own actions is unlikely to ravish the eye, and “Lions for Lambs” is most charitably described as Ibsen with helicopters.Unfair. Ibsen's most famous plays have characters going through difficult personal problems. Except for An Enemy Of The People (which in any case has pretty good dramatic momentum), I really can't think of any Ibsen where they sit around and discuss political ethics for any length of time.
PS The New Yorker hyphenates "through-out"? I didn't know there was anyone still doing that to-day.
