Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member My only knock on this movie was that it would have been nice if hollywood would have case Cubans to play the Cubans. Otherwise it's a pretty good movie. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Read all reviews
