Review – Under Fire

Here we have liberals at their cutest, in full-blown crusader mode. As such, then, this is a creature of its time, a relic from the age when the Sandinista revolution in Nicaragua seemed like it might actually be a good idea (hey, even in retrospect it was better than Somosa). Nick Nolte stars as a photojournalist who gets so caught up in his work covering events leading up to the revolution that he loses his objectivity. Though this might make an interesting out-of-class assignment for journalism students, otherwise the whole show comes across as a big budget, Hollywood reheat of Salvador. Mildly amusing
