A Show of Force
A Show of Force ★★ 1990 (R)
Reporter Irving investigates the coverup of a murder with political ramifications. Brazilian director Barreto cast (surprise!) his girlfriend in the lead; she doesn't exactly carry the day. Phillips is good, but you'll end up feeling cheated if you expect to see much of highly billed Duvall or Garcia. Based on a real incident of 1978, but hardly believable as political realism or even moralism. 93m/C VHS, DVD . Erik Estrada, Amy Irving, Andy Garcia, Robert Duvall, Lou Diamond Phillips; D: Bruno Barreto; W: Evan Jones; M: Georges Delerue.
