...After all, movies love to move. The spectacle of armies massing, horses rearing, swords clashing, body parts severedis at the heart of action cinema. Lives and ideals are put to their greatest risk. And Scott is a magnificent strategist of organized carnage, as he proved in Gladiator and Black Hawk Down. The battle skirmishes here mix sudden violence with slow-motion artistry. The attractive cast can sell an obsession or articulate a conundrum with equal fervor. Eva Green, in the token-girl role every action epic needs, has a classic movie star's beauty and allure, and Bloom has matured...

Seventy-four U.S. Senators cosponsored a resolution to block the weapons sale. Nonetheless, the White House blithely announced early last week that it would go ahead with the deal unless both houses of Congress voted...
...international community was quick to respond to Colombia's agony. As President Reagan sent Betancur a message expressing his sympathy, the U.S. dispatched a dozen CH-47 Chinook and Black Hawk helicopters from Panama to take part in rescue operations. Public and private U.S. disaster relief swelled toward $1 million. In Geneva, the League of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies reported that twelve countries had contributed $1,250,000 worth of tents, generators, food, blankets and other essentials...
