Take away the leads and you've got a decent movie

Two things didn't help this film, the first might've been the channel I watched it on, no subtitles for the Italian parts. The second was McCarthy and Stone as leads, they try hard but in a serious subject like this they play it as if it's Douglas / Turner in Romancing the Stone 3.

On the plus side the scenes in Roma are very well done, especially the demonstration scenes and you do get a hint of what it was like in the Italian capital during the terrorist happenings.

The other thing about the movie is it tells about what happened to Aldo Moro, the kidnapped Italian PM, but nothing of what happened after. I've tried looking into this but it could take a while.

A decent film even with it's limitations.

Quiz
The film was made and released about seven years after its source novel of the same name by Michael Mewshaw had been first published in 1984. The book was semi-autobiographical. Mewshaw is a former Newsweek correspondent.

Blooper
The movie supposed to take place in 1978, but a poster from Aki Kaurismäki's Leningrad Cowboys Go America (1989) can be seen.

Versioni alternative
The US theatrical release and original home video release on VHS include English subtitles for all the Italian dialog parts in the film. Later releases, mastered from the original negative, for DVD and streaming, do not have any English subtitles for the Italian dialog scenes, making the story difficult to follow for non Italian speakers
