Did you know
ā¢ Tom Berenger's favorite film of the ones he has been in.
ā¢ According to Joe Eszterhas' book "Hollywood Animal," everybody on set was afraid of Debra Winger as she was known for having a difficult temper, but Winger proved the rumors to be wrong. Tom Berenger was so intimidated by her that Winger had to make coffee for him and kid with him the entire time to put him on ease. Winger also spent one entire night playing poker with the crew to ease them. By the end of the shoot everybody was in love with her.
ā¢ This was one of two movies released in 1988 that were inspired by events surrounding the 1984 murder of Denver radio talk show host Alan Berg. The other was Talk Radio (1988).

Entertaining But Highly Improbable
Intriguing if slightly confused movie.
Decent and interesting political thriller with fine interpretation and compellingly directed by Costa Gavras
