"The film is not as bad as I have read, of course it is not to great either. The main reasons to watch the film are of course Connery and Cuba (with good/historic landmarks). However, niether the story, nor other acting is memorable. The film deals with something about a love interest that brings Connery deeper into the Cuban crime/vigilante world. Bottle factories are broken along with peoples dealths. Anyway, more recent movies have done similar stories better, of course they don't have the CUBA..."

Steven Soderbergh, director of Che: Part One (2008) and Che: Part Two (2008), in an interview with Alex Simon, said of this movie: "That's a fascinating movie. Flawed, but really the things that people disliked about it when it came out are what makes it interesting now, it's refusal to sort of play to the idea of a war-torn romance. An absolute refusal to be sentimental or easy about anything. Brooke Adams' character was really fascinating. Here's a woman who says 'Look, I don't know what little fantasy you've got in your head, but don't play it out on me, because I'm not that.' And this guy (Sir Sean Connery) who's wrestling with the fact that the kind of guy he is, is obsolete now. It's a really interesting movie."
