Starts out as an interesting political drama with 1958 Cuba in turmoil. Jack Weil, (Robert Redford), comes to town in hope of wining a fortune in poker. Instead he gets caught up in the rise of the revolution . The first hour in-a-half is fascinating, watching Redford's character come to terms with the reality surrounding him. It's the last hour that lets us down as this becomes CASABLANCA in Cuba. I'm sure it was a studio decision to allow some romantic fluff to spoil the political broth.
