Filibusterer - Burn! review by NO
Strange film .Semi documentary historical.Rather disjointed to start-dialogue patchy.No women or love interest whatsoever.Unknown actors
apart from Brando who rated it one of his best pe rformancies.Changed my mind -will give it only 2 stars.Music by Morricone unmemorable.

An outstanding role - Burn! review by PD
Marlon Brando in one of his most outstanding roles. The music is unmemorable, but the ethnic and political message is strong. An important role in Marlon's canon of work.
