There is a tangible “you are there” quality to Roger Spottiswoode’s brilliant Under Fire: whether one is lounging in a hotel by the pool or standing in the middle of a Nicaraguan street in the middle of short burst of gunfire, one feels a palpable kick while watching this riveting docudrama detailing the last weeks of the despotic Somoza government before falling to the Sandinistas. Stunning cinematography, a cadre of superlative actors working at the top of their game, and an intelligent story of politics wrapped around a love triangle handled with rare astuteness make this a film to be treasured.
