Carlos El Terrorista (1980)

The Radar read

A quieter title still finding its audience, though the rating rests on a thin sample, so treat it as provisional.

Synopsis

After assassinating his boss -- who just so happens to be an important underworld crime figure -- Carlos (Andres Garcia) turns to the one place he can think of to keep him safe: the CIA. But the top secret government organization inexplicably responds to the desperate man's plea for protection by kidnapping Carlos's family, holding them captive until he carries out their questionable demands. Alicia Encinas and Pablo Ferrel co-star.

Radar blends quality, momentum and freshness into one “what to watch now” number — so a great older film can sit lower than a rising new release. The Quality signal above is the time-neutral rating, which is why an acclaimed classic keeps a high quality score even when its Radar number is lower. Radar outputs are editorial algorithmic recommendations, not objective facts, and may change as signals update. A Radar score is not the same as a TMDB, IMDb or critic rating.
