Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Salvador is long and disjointed and tries to tell too many stories...But the heart of the movie is fascinating.

rotten:
One look at the youthful, idealistic guerrillas, accompanied everywhere by folk music, and you know where Mr. Stone's heart lies.

rotten:
[The] crime spree feels more like bored rich kids on a joy ride than committed leftie intellectuals hastening regime change.

fresh:
The polemic may seem obvious and at times laboured, but the action sequences are brilliant, and the film does achieve a brutal, often very moving, power.
