Now that's what I call action. Not even in a Rambo movie 😂😂😂. And the best part is that it's based on a true story
juliomatos7284 on YouTube very good movie it was assigned as homework for Spanish class to write an essay but it is without a doubt a film I would rewatch thousands of times
ivonneyilenylizcano5975 on YouTube An extraordinary film that recreates this singular hostage crisis involving such a large group of ambassadors, which fortunately had a positive outcome.
juanmanuelparadacontreras9565 on YouTube Great movie, very well made and so, so close to reality. These are the works that should be shared widely to understand the truth of our country's conflict, rather than the falsehoods and fabricated narratives people want to impose on us today. A nation that does not know its history cannot understand its present, and therefore cannot find solutions for its future or know the right path forward.
cesargalindo8452 on YouTube La Chiqui is one of those characters who completely captivated me with her personality and strength throughout the film, and what she did in real life makes her a very powerful figure both on screen and off. I also watched it during a very rebellious phase of mine, so it was the most spectacular thing I could have seen. Thanks to this movie, I learned a lot about the M-19 and important figures in Colombian history.
