Roger Spottiswoode directs Nick Nolte, Joanna Cassidy and Gene Hackman in this romantic drama set around the fall of Nicaragua. 

A top cast is lost in an uninvolving Casablanca wannabe love triangle and an uncertain approach to the verite action. You just can’t get into or care about the narrative. Ed Harris crops up intermittently as a mercenary, and you kinda wish he was the focus of the movie.
