This is a very good and in my opinion underrated movie.
Edward James Olmos at his best as he portrays the evil Trujillo a man who like Hitler became more evil as he got more power. He was a sexual sadist with a preference for young Mulatto girls which is how we get to the story in this movie.
The movie follows mainly Salma Hayek's character and her naivety until she realizes what Trujillo is really like.
The Mirabal sisters' assassination at the very end is sad but at least we are not shown the gory details.
One of Salma Hayeks best movies and I wish she did more like this instead of movies that exploited her looks and body. She is a very intelligent women and a good actress as this and the film Frida shows her to be.
