Ed Harris plays Walker-A Calvinist pseudo-intellectual who leads a private army (with funding from big American companies)on a crusade to conquer portions of Mexico and Central America in the belief that it is the United States'MANIFEST DESTINY to control the hemisphere and all of its people. A deal with Cornelius Vanderbilt (Peter Boyle) sends Walker and his 'Immortals' to Nicaragua to 'stabilise' the country for the planned Panama Canal.
Excellent performances by Miguel Sandovahl, Richard Masur, Xander Berkely, Marlee Maitlin, Rene Auberjenois, John Diehl, Fox Harris and a host of guest spots by Alex Cox alumni such as members of the Pogues, Ed Pansullo, Xander Schloss, Dick Rude, Michele Winstanley and more. Amazing soundtrack by Joe Strummer of Clash fame (he plays a small part in the film).
Much is made of the anachronistic shots of coke bottles, Time magazine, computers and modern cars-all to remind you that this country has been picking fights with anyone it can since our inception. It's really no wonder that Walker is hard to find in the "Land of the Free" as it warns us all that our freedoms come through a price that someone somewhere else is paying right now. This movie should be shown to anyone who can't remember what it was like when Americans had the cajones to look in the mirror and admit the truth. God bless Alex Cox.
