This is a "human condition" film, with no particularly likeable characters, and very little plot. For me, the most suspense was created when Nick Nolte started looking for Raffael. At that point, this film became a Central American game of "Where's Waldo?"
This story strikes me as a poorly done version of "The Lost City," starring Andy Garcia. What makes Andy's story better is that Andy makes a point: Communist revolutions make everything worse, and nothing better. If you look for a point in "Under Fire," it seems that they're condoning communists, even though they make a better case against it.
