Rating: 6/10

 

Corrupt governments,

U.S.-backed Chilean coup,

Though needs more context.

 

Rushed abrupt end,

Mystery solved- so that’s it?

Inept epilogue.

 

Convincing acting,

Lemmon’s growth as father, man;

Spacek most of all.

 

A gift for making

The abstract feel pertinent,

Haunting and moving.

 

Costa-Gavras clearly knows

His political thrillers.
