I found it full of stereotypes and did not like it at all. I would not recommend anybody to watch this movie.
December 11, 2007I think it is a good movie, unfortunately wasn't filmed in El Salvador and the accent and words that Salvadorans don't use are in the film, but I really liked the movie...
October 20, 2007 |  | Not a real story.... to much fiction.... |  |
Is a good movie but not a true story, there is too much fiction and exageration of the real facts. If you have not been in the country or a neighboring country you may believe what is shown on this film. There were human right abuses from the Armed Forces and the FMLN. Some of them were shown on the film but in an exagerated way just to make the film more interesting or more dramatic. The film is OK to watch but do not believe everything you see on it, the facts did not happen in that way.
May 26, 2007Decent film that gives a good sense of the violence perpetuated by the U.S. backed death squads (a.k.a. "freedom fighters") in El Salvador. This is an early Oliver Stone film and I believe it was nominated for a least one academy award. Like in Missing (about Chile), we get the story of a free-lance journalist. It also incorporates some of the major events of the time (i.e. the assassination of Archbishop Romero and the rape and murder of four American nuns).
I don't give it five stars because one does not leave this film with a good undertanding of what was going on. However, as the film sparks the viewer's curosity to find out more, it serves its purpose well.
December 16, 2006This is hands down one of the rawest flicks that I've seen in years. Its one of those rare IFC gems, that they throw at you from time to time. Anyone with even a remote interest in expanding your thoughts, and openning yourself up to the ways "America's Politically driven warfare'" affects other cultures should see this one. Its right up there with "Munich", "Seriona", & "Animal Farm.".........A must see!
