Review of Salvador (1986) by Christopher B — 08 Sep 2007

Oliver Stone has said that anyone who lists this as one their favourite of his movies is doing so to be different, which is crazy since this is really one of his finest achievements. Back in the time when comedy and brutal drama were not mixed at all, this is a perfect melding of the two.

Woods and Belushi have never been better and probably will never be again (seeming how they are both on TV now) and there are some very big laughs to be had. My good friend Sims recently was shocked that this wasn't on my greatest movies list, but NBK squeezes on before it.

Still, this film is definitely a masterpiece and the DVD for it is awesome, make sure to check out the documentary.
