This film is a strong candidate to the Ten Worst films in Movie History list.(There are a lot of them running at this time) I quit after seeing thirty minutes of it. It's pretty dangerous seeing such a piece of wasted footage like this. Stupidity is highly contagious as everybody should know.

Usually movies for TV don't have the outstanding quality this one displays.Seeing movies like Crime and Punishment is a pleasure.It's well acted and well directed.I wish TV viewers had the opportunity to see more quality films like this.

This film is a catalog of all things students should not do if they want to learn how to make a good movie:Avoid very limited actors like Pullman and McDowell,avoid cliches like the stupid black junkie rap singer,the friendly to Americans Spanish workers,the victims from El Salvador death squads,the mysterious government men willing to kill everybody etc.Avoid plots like this one which lets almost everything unexplained.Avoid characters who behave in a way unbelievable to everybody like those in this movie.Specially don't play the favorite game of some contemporary directors:just beautiful form and nothing else behind it. That's why I consider this movie a very useful one.
