Carlos - Avis

Ramirez's outstanding performance and Assayes' superb skill in storytelling make this a mini-series not to be missed.

Ramírez is a very convincing Carlos: on the run like a bank robber, an ideologue with no ideas, left marooned when the tides of history turn against him.

...is mostly tense and thrilling, revealing the poisonous side of global citizenship.

...a powerful film from recent history...
