This is a hostage-taking robbery movie from Chile; it was supposedly based on a true incident, and is rather like Dog Day Afternoon (also based on a true incident). We don't often get to see images of Chile, though its movies have become slightly more common since 1994. This is a well-told story with a serious theme about media exploitation.

My own copy is rather fuzzy; fortunately I found this much better one elsewhere on the net, and I am reseeding it.
