The guerrillas cross-examine their captive, the police scour the city and the government edges toward collapse. Flashbacks show the American involvement in local politics and the corrupt nature of the cabinet. "State of Siege" exists in an interesting moral middle ground.

State of Siege shows how the U.S. aided and abetted right-wing dictatorships in Latin America during the Cold War. Yves Montand plays an American sent by our government to teach torture techniques to police in Uruguay.
Review by Jamelle Bouie ★★★★ 2. It isn’t as dynamic as Z or as penetrating as The Confession, but State of Siege still shows Costa-Gavras at the peak of his powers, with a ripped-from-the-headlines political thriller that takes a sympathetic but critical eye to left-wing revolutionary violence.

Cowritten by Franco Solinas, the electrifying State of Siege piercingly critiques the American government for supporting foreign dictatorships, while also asking difficult questions about the efficacy of radical violent acts to oppose such regimes.
