Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: Yet one more film -- that defines Third World political unrest through its effect on a white liberal.
Rotten: In attempting to make its politics palatable as entertainment, the film has grafted them onto a boatload of Hollywood implausibilities whose excesses cripple believability.
Rotten: Boorman's metaphysical musings might work if he integrated them more fully into his film, instead of making them secondary to action sequences.
Rotten: An odd movie, brilliant in places, but frustrating all the same.
