Watched the Movie "Salvador" with James Woods and was quite surprised by how well received the movie was and still is. Would love to hear anyone's else view on the movie weather you hate it or love it.

From a technical aspect the editing seemed be very jumbled. Certain scenes seemed to be shot on first take with no changes being made. Overlapping dialogue making it difficult to follow. These are definitely nit picks. However the movies biggest flaw is the story that is being told. It follows an egotistical photojournalist and it chooses to have so much of the historical conflict seemingly revolve around him. Richard Boyle is morally reprehensible and by the end of the movie you are supposed to believe he cares about what is going on on in the war torn country. The civil war in El Salvador is a story worth telling but this movie does a horrendous job of doing so.
