Halfway through Last Plane Out I had no idea what the movie was really about, and by the end credits rolled I was even more bemused.

Taking place during the Nicaraguan Revolution in the late 70s, there’s no real story to the movie. A journalist visits Nicaragua, meets up with the powers that be, falls in love with a rebel and flees the country in the finale which, while unexciting, is definitely the most coherent part of the movie.

Jan-Michael Vincent was never my favorite actor, and here he seems extra wooden and dazed out.
