Review

A star rating of 2 out of 5.

Joanna Berry

This movie from Brazilian director Bruno Barreto, who came to prominence with Dona Flor and Her Two Husbands, is loosely based on a supposedly true event, when some Puerto Rican student activists were shot as terrorists during an action instigated by a renegade FBI agent. Unfortunately, Barreto's film takes a potentially interesting and controversial subject and turns it into a rather tedious and violent political thriller. However, it does feature a strong cast, including Andy Garcia, Robert Duvall, Kevin Spacey and Amy Irving, even if Duvall and Garcia's roles are hardly more than cameos.
