Fantastica Daily - 7/10 by Chuck O'LearyA crushing bore. Even Connery can't save this one.
Antagony & Ecstasy - 6/10 by Tim BraytonA deeply flawed movie whose... willingness to complicate the genre it appears to inhabit make it much more valuable than its original reception was willing to admit.
User Review - 10/10 by Harper SI can't believe the negative comments! This is one of those movies that makes history a fun ride. So many recognizable faces come together in a fantastic mix - a bloody revolution brewing all around a clunky love story. Doesn't anybody get it?
User Review - 8/10 by Allan CDirector Richard Lester summed this film up nicely, calling it "A political film within which no one speaks about politics and a love story in which no one speaks about love." There are hints of Casablanca, with Sean Connery as a mercenary hired by the Batista Regime in 1959 to train soldiers. He then comes across old flame Brooke Adams, all the while the Cuba Revolution is fomenting. It's a film that wasn't received well at it's time by critics and also wasn't received well by either Castro or Batista supporters, which probably means they got it right. Besides Connery and Adams (who always seemed interchangeable to me with Karen Allen and Jessica Harper) is a strong cast that includes Jack Weston, Chris Sarandon, Hector Elizondo, Denholm Elliott, Martin Balsam and David Rappaport. Written by frequent Lester collaborator Charles Wood it's a smart script that avoids cliches and works quite well. It's not a prefect film, but in some ways it struck me as something of a flawed masterpiece.
User Review - 8/10 by April WCapitalizing on Sean Connery's Fame as 007, he didn't depart much from that role , as he is a British Mercenary for Hire here.A somewhat Elegant Film with Superb Cinematography that offers glimpses into Local Customs, Rebel Cause & Effect, & The Excesses of the Powerful,such was life in 1959 Cuba.Quite interesting to tour the Cigar & Rum factories along with the slimey ,Jack Weston, as Gutman.Also quite interesting glimpse into the extent of what extremists, the Rebels ,were under the Batista regime, even if they did take liberties with the History.Sean Connery as Robert Dapes looses his Tough Guy Mercenary focus, when he is reunited briefly with the Love he lost 15 years earlier, Alexandra(Brooke Adams) who is now married into the most powerful family in Cuba, & is unwilling to give up her life of Luxury & Prominence for him.I enjoyed this Film very much.
User Review - 8/10 by Trent RIt's a good movie that shows an important historical moment of Cuba.
User Review - 8/10 by Richard DA late Richard Lester gem which deserves to looked at with better critical eyes 30 years after its first release. Sean Connery puts in a good performance as an English mercenary called in by the toppling Cuban goverment to curtail the activities of the Rebels. What follows involves him with an old flame the Goverment and the rebels and of Course American interests . The love story part of the film is a bit stale probably because actress Brooke Adams is way to young to cut it as a connery love interest. But what does work is Lester eye for suppoert casting and of course background deatail. The supporting cast includes Martin Baslam,Denholm Eliot,Hector Elizondo and Jack Weston all get some good lines and parts to get their teeth into. Lester stages the fall of the goverment very well and for a fan of Lesters films i consider this to be a real little gem ,a few flaws in that gem but well worth unearthing
User Review - 8/10 by Cresswell Sremake of Casablanca of sorts. Good movie
User Review - 8/10 by Simon D"In these times, you can only win against Castro if you're right." - Der vierte Film in meiner kleinen Lester-Retrospektive, und der vierte Volltreffer. Dabei fällt CUBA auffällig aus der Reihe durch seine eher bedächtige Inszenierung, die auf den ersten Blick so gar nicht in den üblicherweise eher exaltierten Stil Lesters passen mag. Doch ist hier der leicht verschobene Blick des Regisseurs ebenso präsent wie in seinen überdrehteren Filmen - lediglich die Verschiebung ist subtiler. Drei Jahre nach ROBIN AND MARIAN, der wohl für Regisseur und Hauptdarsteller einen Karrierehöhepunkt markiert, darf Sean Connery erneut einen nicht gebrochenen, aber doch merklich angeknacksten Antihelden geben, dem hier die Weltpolitik, die den Hintergrund der Erzählung bildet, eher widerfährt als dass er eine aktive Rolle darin spielt. Die Figuren sind so komplex wie ihre Beziehungen untereinander, der Tonfall von CUBA kippt mal in absurde Poetik, dann wieder in jene wunderbar sanfte Zärtlichkeit, wie sie nur Richard Lester inmitten des Chaos finden kann. Und zudem hat er Hollywood mal wieder einen dezidiert linken Film angedreht.
User Review - 8/10 by Private UDidn't get great reviews, but I loved it. Great filming and story, some of the characters could have used a little work, but otherwise it was well done.
