Under Fire - 1983 - 6/10

Journalists in Nicaragua, during the 70’s revolution as the Somoza dictatorship is about to topple.
There are several war journalist films out there, and this is one of the better ones.
Great juxtaposition of remote observing of explosive violence coupled with up-close mayhem.
A brutal regime, rebels, mercenaries, CIA interference, and press deadlines.
In addition, a casual romance which seems more of a distraction.
Casting is pretty much perfect, and several scenes are unforgettable.
Timeless, as the subject may be, the pertinent timeline has dated.
The Nicaraguan revolution is 40 years distant, and the new boss = same as the old boss.
