Leave your thoughts about Under Fire.
| Creative LoafingMatt BrunsonAnyone who (like me) is a sucker for 80s political thrillers set in troubled foreign lands will find this a must-watch, in the same class as The Killing Fields, Missing, Salvador and The Year of Living Dangerously. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThis is the kind of movie that almost always feels phony, but "Under Fire" feels real. |
| The New YorkerPauline KaelUnder Fire surrounds these performances with a vivid sense of place and becomes, somewhat surprisingly, one of the year's best films. |
| Christian Science MonitorDavid SterrittDirector Roger Spottiswoode, who edited a number of Sam Peckinpah movies, succeeds brilliantly in creating the chaotic last days of Somoza's government while at the same time incisively evaluating the moral dilemma faced by war correspondents. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzSuperior thinking man's complicated political action drama. |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyA timely political drama, well acted by Nick Nolte and Gene Hackman. |
| Miami HeraldBill CosfordThesping is on the plus side, particularly Nolte in a role cut to his proportions. Director Roger Spottiswode, after a couple of earlier actioners, has great potential. |
| Los Angeles TimesMichael WilmingtonUnder Fire, which was written by Ron Shelton and Clayton Frohman, from a story by Mr. Frohman, means well but it is fatally confused. |
| VarietyVariety StaffDirector Roger Spottiswode, after a couple of earlier actioners, has great potential. |
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatPresents a fascinating look at a journalist caught up in the tensions and violence in Nicaragua's civil war |
