Elleppi

A great and pretty unknown classic about love, war, journalism and politics

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 August 2015

Verified Purchase

A great film that deserves much more popularity. The plot partially inspired Oliver Stone's Salvador (made few years after), but I think Under fire is better than that.
It's the perfect mix of compelling action, focus on characters and political commitment. Without sounding too politically-oriented, it's a clear, courageous and narrative report of what happened there and then, and it clearly shows the rtights behind rebellion and the wrongs behind US support to dictatorship.
All thanks to a remarkable team work of the whole cast (Gene Hackman, Nick NOlte and Joanna Cassidy at their best, and a very unsettling and double faced Ed Harris), of the screenwriters (one of them is Ron Shelton, who specialized in sport movies) and Roger Spottiswoode, ex Sam Peckinpah's editor (and you can tell by the fantastic editing style and the ability to put together intimate situations, political dialogue and documentarian war-scenes). A must have. Blu ray edition is available now: buy that

Under Fire

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 July 2010

Under Fire tells the story of how an American TV journalist (Hackman) and two American photographers (Nolte and Cassidy) get caught up in a revolution, initially as impartial witnesses and then who get deeply drawn into it and become part of the revolution when one of the photographers starts to sympathise with the rebels and agrees to take a picture of a dead guerilla leader who is propped up in front of the camera in an attempt to disprove the claim of government forces that they had killed him. The TV journalist is shot at point blank range by government militia, this is witnessed and photographed and the picture is smuggled out the country to implicate the government in murder in the eyes of the American public and to elicit support for the rebels.

The acting is uniformally superb, particularly Nolte who has never been better and the reconstruction of a country in revolutionary chaos and confusion is utterly convincing. It grips you from the start and never lets go and in the end you side with the rebels and hope that the revolution succeeds. It is exciting, compelling, thoughtful and also a really great action movie.

Re-Discovered Gem!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 July 2013

Verified Purchase

Not seen for many years, I had forgotten just how good this film is. When he was on form Nolte was a powerful prescence and dominates the film. He is well supported by Joanna Cassidy, who has seldom looked or acted better. Hackman is basically in a support role but delivers another of his scene stealing performences. Talking of Scene Stealers.. Ed Harris..brilliant as a playing both sides mercenary, and Richard Masur as a rather slimy Presidential advisor. Roger Spottiswoode directs with real pace and vigour, and whilst it is 2 hours long it feels like One! Excellent print. Excellent film. (Read other reviewers for the plot if you don't know it!)

Great history lesson but a little slow

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 May 2020

Verified Purchase

A little slow and inferior to the energetic Salvador by Oliver Stone. Great if you want your history lesson of the political climate in South America during the late 70s though. Great bluray release with english subs.
