Ben Rhodes from England , 22/04/2006

Gripping narrative, expertly done by John Sayles, his finest film to date. Cultural clashes, murder and corruption all meld together beautifully. In the wrong hands could easily have been a mess due to the delicate handling required, probably one of the best films of the 90s.
