Leave your thoughts about Salvador.
| eFilmCritic.comRob GonsalvesOne of Oliver Stone's best films, and absolutely James Woods' best performance. |
| Washington PostPaul AttanasioIt serves as testimony to the ghosts that continue to haunt such men as ex-senator Bob Kerrey. |
| Rolling StoneJoe GrossWoods delivers one of his all-time great performances and Stone demonstrates the sheer ambition, both thematic and filmic, that would become a career theme. |
| Time OutDerek AdamsThe 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. |
| CinePassionFernando F. CroceBorgesian critique, or exotic backdrop for a scoundrel's Hollywood redemption? |
| The Associated PressLee SiegelThe tale of American photojournalist Richard Boyle’s adventures in strife-torn Central America, Salvador is as raw, difficult, compelling, unreasonable, reckless and vivid as its protagonist. |
| NewsweekJack KrollSalvador is a movie about real events as seen through the eyes of characters who have set themselves adrift from reality. That's what makes it so interesting. |
| EmpireWilliam ThomasStone takes gritty subject matter and hacks it into a perilous ride based on Boyle's life in Salvador. Showing the true, upsetting and harsh realities of which most of us try not to think of. Pure Oliver Stone. |
| Lawrence Journal-WorldDan LybargerOliver Stone's gripping depiction of turmoil in Central America is bolstered by Wood's mesmerising performance as a burned out reporter. |
| Apollo GuideDan JardineLean, Mean and On Point. Stone's best film. |
