Rafael, a village mayor caught in the murderous crossfire of the Philippine-American War. When U.S. troops occupy his village, Rafael comes under pressure from a tough-as-nails officer to help the Americans in their hunt for Filipino guerilla fighters. But Rafael's brother is the head of the local guerillas, and considers anyone who cooperates with the Americans to be a traitor. Rafael quickly finds himself forced to make the impossible, potentially deadly decisions faced by ordinary civilians in an occupied country.

Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
By choosing Rafael as its hero, "Amigo" looks not only at a little-known part of American history, but at a rarely examined type of movie character.
– Stephen Whitty,
Newark Star-Ledger,
19 Aug 2011
fresh:
You could argue that the chief villain of the ambiguously titled "Amigo" is language, which is used quite deliberately to mock and mislead and betray.
– John Hartl,
Seattle Times,
1 Sep 2011
rotten:
"Amigo" might be the talkiest war movie ever made.
– Michael O'Sullivan,
Washington Post,
2 Sep 2011
fresh:
Sayles is always an interesting storyteller, and if "Amigo" isn't typical of his subtler methods, it's still a compelling look at history and its continuing influence.
– Bill Goodykoontz,
Arizona Republic,
6 Oct 2011
fresh:
A reflection on power and betrayal, on the thin line between acting as your conscience demands and protecting obligations close to your heart.
– Connie Ogle,
Miami Herald,
