Salvador
TrailerVeteran photojournalist Richard Boyle, down on his luck in the US, drives to El Salvador to chronicle the events of the 1980 military dictatorship, including the assasination of Archbishop Oscar Romero. When Boyle witnessed the execution of a student by government troops just as they enter the country, it becomes clear that this war is more serious than they were expecting. Increasingly convinced that El Salvador is a disaster starting to happen, Boyle continues to push local and U.S. Embassy officials for answers, which makes him soon become a target and must find a way to flee - with Maria - before he too becomes one of the disappeared.Actors: James Woods, Jim Belushi, Michael Murphy, John Savage, Elpidia Carrillo, Tony Plana, Colby Chester, Cynthia Gibb, Will MacMillan, Valerie Wildman, José Carlos Ruiz, ...»Director: Oliver StoneCountry: United StatesDuration: 122 minQuality: HDRelease: 1986IMDb: 7.30 CommentsSort By- Newest

Critic Reviews of "Salvador"
Time OutJune 24, 2006The polemic may seem obvious and at times laboured, but the action sequences are brilliant, and the film does achieve a brutal, often very moving, power.
VarietyMay 24, 2006The tale of American photojournalist Richard Boyle's adventures in strife-torn Central America, Salvador is as raw, difficult, compelling, unreasonable, reckless and vivid as its protagonist.
New York TimesMay 21, 2003One look at the youthful, idealistic guerrillas, accompanied everywhere by folk music, and you know where Mr. Stone's heart lies.
Chicago Sun-TimesJanuary 01, 2000Salvador is long and disjointed and tries to tell too many stories...But the heart of the movie is fascinating.
CinePassionApril 21, 2010Borgesian critique, or exotic backdrop for a scoundrel's Hollywood redemption?
EmanuelLevy.ComSeptember 18, 2007Though structurally messy and with uneven dialogue, Stone's independent movie captures vividly the cool, rush, and hysteria of jaded leftist American journos in the political chaos of El Slavaodr in 1980-81; James Woods Oscar-nominated turn is brilliant
eFilmCritic.comApril 09, 2007One of Oliver Stone's best films, and absolutely James Woods' best performance.
Ozus' World Movie ReviewsJune 13, 2005Brutally moving depiction of the civil war in El Salvador in 1980.
TV GuideJuly 30, 2003Woods is superb, and it is a tribute to his considerable dramatic skill that he manages to elicit sympathy for a uniquely obnoxious character.
