Director Sydney Pollack and Robert Redford join forces to tell the story of high-rolling gambler Jack Weil. Hoping to be pushed to the edge in a place ripe for action, Weil heads to Havana at Christmastime, 1958. Cuba is experiencing prerevolutionary rumblings, and he has a theory that gamblers are more adventuresome when the bullets start flying. Once he arrives, he ends up falling in with revolutionaries and meets a glamorous Swede named Bobby Duran (Lena Olin) and her wealthy husband, revolutionary leader Arturo Duran. Suddenly Jack finds himself making radical gestures, braving financial loss and life-threatening situations in an attempt to save her from dictator Batista's men. Sexual attraction slowly leads the way to political awareness, matching the amount of time it takes for the beginnings of social change. (jakelijan virallinen teksti)

A surprisingly balanced and bearable mix of romance and drama in an excellent visual package. Primarily benefiting from the setting, this relatively simple piece by the otherwise average and stereotypical Sydney Pollack stands out. Havana is a beautiful place, and the story set before the revolution in the 1950s has a literal magical charm, and appropriately supporting music and the charismatic Robert Redford are just the right additions. There isn't much to talk about in terms of acting, but Lena Olin is captivating, she handles the stronger scenes (of which there are not many) excellently. The characters can be somewhat confusing during the relatively long runtime, but the ending is satisfying, and the romance itself is decidedly mature, so why not.
