This movie was made primarily by Mexican talent, so given the time period this was made, you can probably figure that this won't be a very slick production. It has a made-for-TV feel despite being made for theaters, there are a couple of botches with the editing (two scenes seem to be out of order, for one thing), and you never get a real feeling of being in a foreign land with all the generic locations (indoors and outdoors) chosen.
Still, I have to admit that I was never bored at any time watching this movie. The movie did make me curious as to how the protagonists would handle the situation, and also how the movie would be resolved. As a bonus, you get to see a hammy Donald Pleasence play a would-be rapist/killer, and see MAD Magazine artist Sergio Aragones play a hotheaded member of the military. If you are prepared for a somewhat crudely-made movie, chances are that you'll find the movie agreeable and forgive its shortcomings.
