The struggle by many to get MGM to release this epic movie was worth every effort as you watch this beautiful movie on the big screen.
This is one of the performances of Tom Berenger's life.There is no denying the magnitude to which he portrays John Riley's great strength and character. His scenes, quite literally, draw you in like no other role he's played since Sergeant Barnes in Platoon. You'll gasp out loud when witnessing the consequences the San Patricios and John Riley face for desertion.
Berenger brings to this movie his heart and soul (along with an excellent Irish brogue)and it shows in the first frame to the last.
Artistically shot under Director, Lance Hool, and enhanced by the beautiful score from composer Ernest Troost, this is a film that will stay with you long after you leave the theater.
Tom is supported by an equally impressive and strong cast. Daniela Romo, as the fiercely independent and beautiful Marta, is captivating in every scene she is in. Mark Moses, as American Col. Benton Lacy, is a stand-out as John Riley's friend and one of the few fair-minded soldiers in John Riley's former American unit. Character actor James Gammon, who played coach Lou Brown in Major League and Major League II, brought to the movie his homey, down-to-earth talent as the likable Zachary Taylor.
This movie tells a little known chapter in American and Mexican history--a chapter that deserves to be told.
Tell everyone you know to go out and support this film to ensure a wider release throughout the United States.
THIS IS A MOVIE WORTH FIGHTING FOR.
