'Salvador' is based on the account of photo journalist Richard Boyle's at times harrowing experiences covering a civil war in El Salvador in 1980 - 81. James Woods gives a solid performance as the rather flawed Boyle. Micheal Murphy plays the Carter appointed ambassador to the country as a very honorable man. There is a scene of the rape and murder of foreign add works made all the more horrible as we have come to know and really like one of them. Co-written and directed by Oliver Stone, this is very much up his alley. ***1/2.
