Unfortunately, I felt like I was watching a Mexican movie. The Mexican actors who contributed in this movie are very talented and I applaud to them with admiration but it didn't touch me because I could hear the Mexican accents on the actors. Really? how many salvadorean did you check that could do these roles? I think it could have been an enormous success if they were portrayed by Salvadoreans. We have talent in our country you just have to look, it is not hard to find. Anyway, Salvadorean don't say "Chava" we say "Chamba". Any salvadorean can tell you that. Another thing, the guerrilla was portrayed as the favorites, the "good" guys. They were very disruptive, they came into our classrooms and always interrupted our class. Always yelling and taking possession of school property. When the army tried to take them out from the school properties, we the students we were always in danger because of them. Many times we had to cover ourselves because they decided to have a fight with the army and hide in our school. How many times I had to stop going to school because they were burning the buses, of course, the bus company had to stop the bus circulation. They destroyed telephone boots anything that was on their way. Weakening the infrastructures they said, but the affected ones were the population. Yes, we were all in risk of being taken by the army but the guerrilla was also doing the same. I am sorry but this just brought me bad memories from my childhood. Good movie but it could have been better if you hadn't taken sides on one faction only.

score 2/10
