Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 3/5 --
So-so Connery vehicle
Kansas City Kansan
Lester tackles this tale of corruption and espionage in pre-Revolutionary Cuba in a typically picaresque style...
Sight and Sound
...A crazy fantasy about old-time Hollywood melodramas....Outrageously endearing...
New York Times
Rating: 6/10 --
A deeply flawed movie whose... willingness to complicate the genre it appears to inhabit make it much more valuable than its original reception was willing to admit.

Antagony & Ecstasy
Richard Lester achieves a movie similar to a tourism advertisement for people who have basic ideas about revolutions. [Full Review in Spanish]

A crushing bore. Even Connery can't save this one.
Fantastica Daily
Cuba showcases Richard Lester's knack for making movies with ragtag plots and colorful characters.

Product Description:
Satire about Cuban dictatorships and revolutions. A cynical British mercenary is dispatched to Havana by the Batista government to try and end Castro's reign. Along the way he meets a number of similarly cynical types as well as an old girlfriend. As the government falls down around them, each realizes a different set of values towards the conflict.
