A Review Too Far - Our Brand Is Crisis

This week our cinema geeks review the Steve Martin comedy The Three Amigos, Netflix's Beasts of No Nation, and the political drama Our Brand Is Crisis.

First up is The Three Amigos in which Martin, along with Chevy Chase and Martin Short, plays in a trio of silent movie stars who, though a misunderstanding, become embroiled in a local land war between bandits and the downtrodden people of a small Mexican village.

After that is another of Netflix's forays into cinema with the child soldier drama Beasts of No Nation which tells the tragic story of a boy forced to join a guerrilla group as it rampages throughout the African Bush in support of a rebel army.

Finally, out in theaters is Our Brand Is Crisis, in which Sandra Bullock plays a political strategist sent to Central America to assist a pro-US presidential candidate in getting elected over his liberal counterpart, and the lengths that she and her team go to in order to win said election.
