Anecdotes
Based on the 1978 cover-up of the shooting deaths of Carlos Soto Arrivi and Arnaldo Dario Rosado at Cerro Maravilla mountain in Puerto Rico.

Gaffes
When Carla De Ruiz is being interviewed by Kate Melendez, she refers to her husband as "Arnaldo" instead of "Alberto". (The character Alberto is based on Arnaldo Dario Rosado, who was murdered on Cerro Maravilla.) This error can't be seen on the "televised" interview.

Howard: Fuck your preconceptions. How many times do I have to tell you, there are two sides to every story? Now, you wanna pick one, go work for editorial.
Kate Melendez: You still talking to me?
Howard: Okay, all right. How about a piece on the undercover agent?
Kate Melendez: Hey, you remember the explosives? I just found out the DA's office is going to announce there weren't any.

All-star cast, cheesy script

This movie was an attempt to portray actual events, but it fictionalized the story and the locales so much that it detracts from the movie. In addition is what I perceive as the pro-nationalist slant of the script.

All in all, the movie presents great examples of early work by Andy Garcia, Lou Diamond Phillips, Kevin Spacey and also has Robert Duvall.

If you can stand the inaccuracies, watch it for the cast of then future stars, and for Robert Duvall in a solid supporting role.
