This movie was not nearly as good as I had heard. Being a musician
myself, some of the references made sense. But as usual, Hollywood took
over and it became the normal melodrama. Musically, the movie was
magnificent. Whether you are a fan of Cuban music or not, it is sure to
pull you in.
Antonio Banderas was very believable, but Armand made me want to turn the channel. This is very much of a disappointment for me since I have enjoyed Assantes work in many other films. Kudos to Talisa Soto, we need to hear and see much more of her. She was very much underused. She can be seen (but not enough) in the Bond flick "License to Kill".
