Another exceptional performance from Joel Torre. See more 08/07/2013 A powerful historical drama that examines the complexities of counter-insurgency and life under occupation. See more 04/08/2013 An excellent film filled with ideas and insights. See more 03/22/2013 Although its fiction, having read some diaries of GIs during the Philippine-American war, particularly Gen. Aguinaldo's own account, the movie was entertaining and believable. Made me a fan of writer-director John Sayles. However, won't be surprised if more Filipinos prefer movies made by those whom they will also elect and re elect in the coming Philippine election. See more 04/15/2012 "Amigo" is a small, interesting little low-budget film that benefits from beautiful photography and Sayles' well-paced direction. For its two hour running time, it breezes by and remains consistently entertaining. A few performances are off and the costume design is bland, but "Amigo" is another fine outing from one of cinema's greatest storytellers. See more Read all reviews
