Unos Pocos Con Valor

"A few with courage," the movie's called. This shameless piece of poorly-acted propaganda, "based on a true story," is the combined story that Billy Joya and Oscar Álvarez want you and all of Honduras to believe about them. "Did you know that we're not delinquents, Moises?" says the evil criminal mastermind. "Then what are we?" asks his protegé. "Revolutionaries." In this work of bold fiction, the police (actually, probably 3-16, since Billy Joya did succeed in freeing some fabulously wealthy kidnap victims, and the actors were trained with the Cobra squad here) are heroes uninterested in money, and anyone who opposes the system is a criminal—although of course this is true by definition when one defines dissent as a criminal act. It was mostly produced, as I understand it, following the coup, and there can be little doubt that it was made in consultation with "Showman" Alvarez and Billy Joya, who himself has a media production operation.

Here's a response from Honduran artists in resistance to the golpista hoopla surrounding the release of the film, which by the trailer alone is already a laughingstock in Honduras ("based on a true story"):
