A righteously angry political drama, largely carried by a career-defining turn by James Woods. As washed-up, drunken war journalist Richard Boyle, Woods drives to El Salvador with buddy Doctor Rock (James Belushi). He finds the country in the grip of a military dictatorship, propped up by US military aid, and begins to chronicle the widespread human rights abuses there.
DVD Extras:
Commentary by Oliver Stone, Making Of documentary (Into The Valley Of Death), four deleted/ extended scenes, theatrical trailer, on-set photo gallery.Superb extras, topped by a particularly candid commentary from Stone. The director refuses to mince words, revealing, for instance, how Woods was so competitive that the actor reckoned he was better at being Boyle than the man himself.
