Salvador
Description
Veteran photojournalist Richard Boyle, down on his luck in the US, drives to El Salvador to chronicle the events of the 1980 military dictatorship, including the assasination of Archbishop Oscar Romero. When Boyle witnessed the execution of a student by government troops just as they enter the country, it becomes clear that this war is more serious than they were expecting. Increasingly convinced that El Salvador is a disaster starting to happen, Boyle continues to push local and U.S. Embassy officials for answers, which makes him soon become a target and must find a way to flee - with Maria - before he too becomes one of the disappeared.

An emotional and political sledgehammer.

The tale of American photojournalist Richard Boyle's adventures in strife-torn Central America, Salvador is as raw, difficult, compelling, unreasonable, reckless and vivid as its protagonist.
July 30, 2003
Woods is superb, and it is a tribute to his considerable dramatic skill that he manages to elicit sympathy for a uniquely obnoxious character.
September 18, 2007
Though structurally messy and with uneven dialogue, Stone's independent movie captures vividly the cool, rush, and hysteria of jaded leftist American journos in the political chaos of El Slavaodr in 1980-81; James Woods Oscar-nominated turn is brilliant
June 13, 2005
Brutally moving depiction of the civil war in El Salvador in 1980.

One of Oliver Stone's best films, and absolutely James Woods' best performance.
June 24, 2006
The polemic may seem obvious and at times laboured, but the action sequences are brilliant, and the film does achieve a brutal, often very moving, power.
January 01, 2000
Salvador is long and disjointed and tries to tell too many stories...But the heart of the movie is fascinating.
May 26, 2006
Still Oliver Stone's best film.

One look at the youthful, idealistic guerrillas, accompanied everywhere by folk music, and you know where Mr. Stone's heart lies.
August 02, 2006
Lean, Mean and On Point. Stone's best film.

Borgesian critique, or exotic backdrop for a scoundrel's Hollywood redemption?
