    Not bad but the subject matter is heavy on exposition, thus slowing the movie down.

    Riveting little political thriller that seems to be all but forgotten!

    I like how the peppering of Spanish throughout the film is not subtitled. Haunting docudrama about the Nicaraguan civil war.

    Bu filmi ilk seyrettigimde daha yeni yetme gazeteciydim. Filmdeki sicak olay gazeteciligi ve fotomuhabirligi beni cok heyecanlandirmis, muzikleri ise mest etmisti. Her seyredisimde benzer bir hazzi yasarim hala. Bu film bence gazetecilige gonul vermis herkesin arsivinde ve zihnin...( read more)de olmasi gereken bir klasik. Ayni zamanda cok iyi bir politik gerilim filmi, tipki 'Missing' gibi. Ozellikle bazi takip sahnelerindeki goruntu ve muzik uyumu oylesine yerinde ki insanin beynine cakilip kaliyor. This is the peak of the "photojournalism film" all i know. I watched it many times with the same excitement. Soundtracks are great.

    This movie had potential, but fell through the cracks. To bad.
