Leaburn O Has a raw journalistic excellence usually only seen in Nam films of this ilk. Interesting to focus the camera on another conflict the US were ill advised to enter into. There’s a lot to admire in this picture. Watched it on Amazon Prime. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/30/25 Full Review CodyZamboni Z Brutal, raw, powerful, and ultimately, heartbreaking. Brought to vivid life by Oliver Stone. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/29/25 Full Review Robert B Classic in every way. Even Belushi shines. Must see. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/21/25 Full Review thiago s Filme bacaninha, o roteiro é mais ou menos, as cenas são bacaninhas, a história é bacaninha, o elenco é bacaninha, e só a dupla dos fotógrafos ajudou a melhorar o filme, os personagens são bacaninhas, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, e o filme ficou com um drama bem bacaninha. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 06/15/25 Full Review DanTheMan 2 Still soberingly relevant today, Salvador offers a gripping and brutally moving depiction of the turmoil in Central America, offset by pure anger as Oliver Stone unleashes a tirade against the US government and its foreign policy. It has a real drive and sense of attack in its willingness to tackle its subject matter with a head-on vividness. Stone's cynicism and candour regarding the sins and utter corruption of political journalism fuel the central thrust of this film. Stone presents some profoundly harrowing and unsettling visuals aided by his direction, the cinematography and Georges Delerue's haunting musical score. The battle sequences are tense and tightly edited, the dialogue is rippingly good, although somewhat disjointed at points and certainly drags its feet in delivering its gut punch of a message, you can forgive it due to the utterly tremendous central performance from James Woods, a tribute to his considerable dramatic skill that he manages to elicit sympathy for a uniquely obnoxious character. Salvador isn't a masterpiece, but it's a film of such ferocious power and intensity that it's impossible not to notice. I really need to check out more of Stone's filmography one of these days. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/28/25 Full Review Alec C Welcome to El Salvador, one of the most dangerous and war-torn countries in the world! A boozy reporter decides to do some freelance work in the middle of a civil war, but soon finds himself biting off more then he can chew, with the constant innocents shot down and the officials unable to intervene. Unflinching in its portrayal of the evils of social instability and tyranny in this underrated Oliver Stone story! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/13/24 Full Review Read all reviews
