OLD WAR STORIES
Today's movie was Roger Spottiswoode's
with Nick Nolte, Gene Hackman and Joanna Cassidy.
Three journalists in the middle of the end of the Nicaraguan revolution. Trying to remain objective.
This is a great movie. I saw this when it came out. I somehow remembered it the other day and ordered it up for a review.
It is as interesting now as it was in 1983. The war is made quite real with hand held and in-the-middle of action scenes. They are quite immediate and "realistic". Scary.
Of course, we have the CIA. We also have soldiers of fortune for sale to any side, Ed Harris.
It is a modern war movie. And the guerillas win!
It is as true as possible to the real history.
Since I saw it before and still like it now, it will be a 5 out of Netflix5.
