Riveting Film Without a Coherent Viewpoint
"Cuba" is a vastly engrossing film that doesn't fail to entertain. It is graced with superb acting, a witty script, and mesmerizing art direction. What it lacks is a coherent point of view. I wasn't sure what director Richard Lester was trying to say about the events surrounding the Cuban revolution. Also enigmatic is the film's main character, a British mercenary played by Sean Connery. It is no reflection on the performance by Connery but the way the character is written we are left puzzled throughout as to his motivations. In my book, though, the pluses outweigh the negatives. View "Cuba" as entertainment and not as history.

Well shot, terrible ideas
First off, I found this movie finely played and edited. But I was truly shocked at Lester's pro-Castro ideology. We're en 1979 for Christ sakes ! Can't we have some true historical facts ? Didn't you hear about the trials, the political prisoners, the crowds of people trying to escape the totalitarian regime ? No, the bad guys here are Batista people, potrayed like mere pigs. I'm glad this movie didn't catch people's attention, it's nothing but propaganda. And like a previous reviewer said, it must be Castro's perefered movie, well done Lester, accomplice of the Castro's killings.
