Full Plot Details

AMIGO, the 17th feature film from Academy Award-nominated writer-director John Sayles, stars legendary Filipino actor Joel Torre as 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 (Chris Cooper) to help the Americans in their hunt for Filipino guerilla fighters. But Rafael's brother (Ronnie Lazaro) 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. A powerful drama of friendship, betrayal, romance and heartbreaking violence, AMIGO is a page torn from the untold history of the Philippines, and a mirror of today's unresolvable conflicts.

Movie Reviews

NewsBlaze - 9/10 by Kam WilliamsA cinematic history lesson connecting the dots between Manifest Destiny and The Bush Doctrine.
Film School Rejects - 8/10 by Robert LevinIn its quiet way, Amigo builds to a devastating portrait of war's terrible cost.
Oregonian - 8/10 by Marc MohanThe cinematography is crisp but sterile, and no one's clothes ever seem to get muddy or torn -- in short, there's no real sense of the atmosphere of a sticky, buggy, fetid jungle, and no intensity to a story that cries out for a sense of moral outrage.
Times-Picayune - 8/10 by Mike ScottNormally a reliable screenwriter, Sayles probably gives his audience too much credit with regard to its knowledge of what is one of the lesser-known chapters in America's military history. As a result, even with its modern parallels, Amigo makes for dense, slow-going viewing.
Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) - 8/10 by John BeifussNaysayers might argue that the film's anti-war message is so obvious it doesn't bear repeating; but if that's the case, why do we tolerate so many unnecessary wars?
New York Daily News - 8/10 by Joe NeumaierCooper, Torre and Dane DeHaan, as a soldier smitten with a local girl, stand out among a strong cast. With its big ideas on an intimate scale, this is Sayles' best in a decade.
New York Times - 8/10 by A.O. ScottAmigo is a well-carpentered narrative, fast-moving and emphatic, stepping nimbly from gravity to good humor.
ColeSmithey.com - 8/10 by Cole Smithey[VIDEO] As with John Sayles's unforgettable film "Matewan," about West Virginia coal miners, "Amigo" is a cold glass of socio-political allegory exempt from pretension or exaggeration.
Variety - 8/10 by Joe LeydonGood intentions can't breathe fresh life into cliches or dispel the overall impression of schematic didacticism.
Miami Herald - 8/10 by Connie OgleA reflection on power and betrayal, on the thin line between acting as your conscience demands and protecting obligations close to your heart.
