a look at an ex-soldier, who after "six years of battling terrorists, the Peruvian drug mafia, and a nationalist war against Ecuador," finds out there's no place for him in civilization. . .Existentialist fare at its best. Go to Full Review

05/17/2013 An interesting perspective on the recovery of war. This feels like a post Vietnam pic but the unique angle adds to the delivery of very unique recovery. See more 02/09/2011 Days Of Santiago is a very nice proposal by director Josue Mendez. The acting is fine, but the script is great. Although the black and white scenes are sometimes unnecessary, the movie is still pretty good. See more 12/22/2009 Described the complicated feelings and the difficulties of rebuilding the social life of the protagionist in detail. Very well control on the mod of the story. See more 09/05/2009 The first 20 minutes watching it I was almost certain where the movie would go, but to my surprise it does not end up in the cliches bin. Well executed although I wish I could understand the reasons of switching back and forth from b&w and color See more 09/29/2008 Me parecio bastante interesante, no le tenia mucha fe pero creo q se logra estar en los zapatos de santiago y entender lo q siente, no verse reconocido, sin cabida en la sociedad actual, la incidencia de su familiar, la importancia de sus compañeros de armas, etc etc etc. Recomendada. See more 09/22/2008 Le retour difficile a la vie civile d'un ex commando de l armee peruvienne. Difficulte a se detacher de son passe de soldat pour reconstruire quelque chose de neuf.
