While the acting is ok, the whole story makes the so-called guerrilleros look nice. The true story was nothing like it. They were real assassins. The "political prisoners" they wanted the Government to set free were, in fact, terrorists just like them. Mixing real video footage of the actual hostage crisis in this movie is a very bad idea, as it misleads the viewers into thinking those terrorists were nice people. Imagine Osama Bin Laden playing football and being nice to his hostages because, of course, he never ordered to kill anyone (ironic mode on) and surrendering when the troops stormed in. Utter nonsense.
