## Description

Nick Nolte, Gene Hackman and Joanna Cassidy play three journalists caught up in the 1979 Nicaraguan revolution in Under Fire.  Russel Price (Nolte) is a gutsy photo-journalist who gets caught between his love for reporter Claire Stryder (Cassidy) and his friendship with her husband, Alex Grazier (Hackman). Caught up in the war between the Nicaraguan government and the Sandinista rebels, Price loses sight of his objectivity and becomes deeply involved in the skirmish.  With cinematography by the great John Alcott (2001: A Space Odyssey, Barry Lyndon) and one of Jerry Goldsmith s greatest scores (later sampled in Quentin Tarantino s Django Unchained), Under Fire is director Roger Spottiswoode s greatest filmmaking achievement, a complex political thriller with shades of Casablanca, and Eureka Classics is proud to present the film in its UK debut on Blu-ray.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Essentially a crime caper set against a Central American uprising
  

*by R***T on Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2020*

Not really a political thriller as such so much as a somewhat ham fisted film about a propaganda plot involving a journalist.  The film's promo said it looked at a historic event in Central America at the time, but like all feature films this one is more or less an examination of a criminal plot the challenges (or breaks) a reporter's ethics.I remember the hype for the film when it was first marketed, including a story about how Nick Nolte checked the rifles for the Mexican Army who were standing in for the Nicaraguans, and allegedly found real ammo instead of blanks.  I say allegedly because there are lots of stories bandied about.  Some of it is for ego stroking, some of it is just for the sake of making up stories, but a lot of it is to keep the double-dealing veneer that is the Hollywood film industry.  The idea being to drive away "honest" people to keep the sociologist and social psychologists in control to crank out forward thinking media.  How tiresome.So it is that you have two edgy yet WASPY photo journalists taking on scum bag mercenaries, two-faced politicos, the occasional spy, drug gangs, and guerillas.My issue with these kinds of films (other than my dislike of all movies) is that you don't get any kind of perspective on what happened in Nicaraqua, Panama, or any other troubled area in central and south America.  You just get a visual interpretation and emotional vibe that's not based on anything.  It's a movie where you're supposed to feel for the journalists, but I really can't say that I sympathized for anyone in this film, but a lot of that is my dislike for movies in the first place.Sidenote here, I was actually looking for another similar film about two guys who drive down to either Central or South America, and are witness to another junta from another group in another country.  And I thought it starred Nick Nolte.  Well, I was wrong, so the search continues.  But this film, in spite of my gripes with it, is technically well put together.  My real key issue with this film is that it just strikes me as being wholly implausible, and as such is offered to the movie going audience to see if they recognize anything of that ilk, which is kind of what movies are all about these days.It's not a horrible film, but if you understand the agenda's for all films, then this one should leave a sour taste in your mouth.  Still, if you like Col War era politics and military films that don't have a lot of war in them, then check this one out.

    Good dramatic period piece
  

*by R***F on Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2018*

Although it succeeds in portraying the Sandinista revolution in Nicaragua, it does fall back on dramatic license: the creation of a Che-like "Rafael" character which had no real counterpart in Nicaragua.  The film was released in 1982, at the start of Reagan's contra movement; perhaps an attempt to build sympathy and foil this policy.  The Ed Harris character would not fade away into merc oblivion, but of course remained behind: his tolerance for media "liberals" like Nolte would not last long.  The characterization of A. Somoza remains spot-on.  Despite its flaws, a good dramatic period piece.

    Fictional account of Nicaragua’s revolutionary war.
  

*by W***Y on Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2019*

Very good movie.  Always liked it, but it’s a fictional account!  No basis in reality.  It was correct on 3 accounts.  There was a war, a photojournalist was murdered (by a private at a road block), and Somoza’s regime was overthrown...beyond that it was all make believe!  I don’t want a documentary, but it would be nice to get a decent account of things.  The murdered photojournalist, btw, was happily married with kids! This account does him dishonor in that context!
