I knew someone that lived through this time period and was forced to evacuate the country. That's why I was initially interested in this film, to find out what happened during this time period. I've read every book I can find about these troubled years in Nicaragua, and I finished them feeling just as confused as I was before. Watching the movie helped me to understand just a little of what was going on in that part of the world where my friend once lived. It also shocked me to see what journalists must go through in order for us to see the pictures and read the stories of what goes on in war-torn areas of the world.
Nick Nolte and Gene Hackman are two of my favorite actors, and they work very well together in this movie. The soundtrack music also gets stuck in my head. I can hear it now.....
