This movie is beyond ridiculous even if you don't pay attention to the political propaganda. Andy Garcia proves that a chinless man cannot be trusted with a determined action, but have his eyes watering at every opportunity.

Andy Garcia proves that a chinless man cannot be trusted with a determined action, but have his eyes watering at every opportunity. Who financed this joke? Expand

Andy Garcia's homage to the good ol' days of Batista and US imperialism has about as much political depth as Sean Hannity and about as much character development as a Mentos commercial. Some fine acting by Garcia and excellent Andy Garcia's homage to the good ol' days of Batista and US imperialism has about as much political depth as Sean Hannity and about as much character development as a Mentos commercial. Some fine acting by Garcia and excellent music (much of it by Garcia as well), but I'm left wondering if anyone in Cuba had any material reason to want a revolution in the first place. Expand

Descended into self-parody. Interesting idea, some nice music, and scattered effective scenes, but the execution often left one squirming.

The romance was as hot as an animal cracker. Clunky political dialogue on all sides. Bill Murray looked like he walked onto the wrong set. And where was the editor? Expand

Snoozefeast-a-palooza! There's so much talent on the screen and none of it comes through. A boring story that has way too many distractions. I never thought that I would be disapointed seeing Andy Garcia, Bill Murray, and Dustin Hoffman Snoozefeast-a-palooza! There's so much talent on the screen and none of it comes through. A boring story that has way too many distractions. I never thought that I would be disapointed seeing Andy Garcia, Bill Murray, and Dustin Hoffman in the same movie and in the same scene! I guess there's a lesson to be learned from this movie... what it is... I have no idea. Expand
