Sombras de una guerra

This movie is actually pretty good and absolutely interesting to watch. It's also told a story of tragic fate that whoever involved in it would suffer and pay for the inevitable consequences as a chain-link domino falling one after another. There are several flaws that I think if edited smartly or more carefully enough, this movie could even become better; i.e., the two fashion shows are way too long, they just slowed down the flow of this movie. The fashion shows also felt repeatedly boring and cliched. Hiring some American Hippie-like men to play the vicious lowlife American GI Joe is a disastrous joke. Long hairs and unshaved beard, messy uniforms, Jesus. The young Japanese detective is acted like a Yakuza. The editing is also a bit of messy. But all of these shortcomings won't impair the whole movie's interesting scenarios. George Kennedy in this movie also performed well. Broderick Crawford is just too old to play that captain role, way passed the police retirement limit.

A nostalgic movie about the 70s' of the 20th Century. Highly recommended.
