Salvador: Directed by Oliver Stone. With James Woods, Jim Belushi, Michael Murphy, John Savage. A burnt-out photojournalist becomes involved in a Central American revolution.

“The cinematic equivalent of being busted in the chops over and over again until you can only fall, this, along with his TALK RADIO, is Oliver Stoneu0026#39;s masterpiece.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIt is one of the most driven dramas I have ever witnessed, a work propelled by anger, a burning sense of justice and fiery humanism. It depicts a corrupt, murdering regime with savage focus and makes no dramatic concessions to the incendiary material.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eFinanced slightly outside the Hollywood system, it boasts a dozen extraordinary performances and a brand of camera-work (by Stone regular Robert Richardson) that expertly marries documentary-style coverage to classic composition.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSALVADOR has so much to say, but it concludes having not said it all because it hasnu0026#39;t the time.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eItu0026#39;s quite incredible.”
