Good movie!!
México very rarely produces action movies, it's always comedy or drama, but this time they did it, and did it well! The scenes, the effects, the music everything fitted perfectly! The quality of the production is really good, so give it a try. If you're expecting an ACTION movie like the ones with The Rock or Jason Statham, I mean NO this is no the right movie for you. This is COMEDY, action comedy, and if you don't understand American humor then don't criticize this movie. The film has a lot of action and good fight scenes, guns, money, blood and the best, humor! Maybe Omar Chaparro wasn't the perfect guy for the main role but he's a really good comedian so I have no complains. On the other hand Joey Morgan makes a great job with a more serious role. If you're Mexican you'll even recognize a lot of cameos from several celebs that I'm sure will make you laugh. The movie is funny, perfect for relaxing a little bit, lots of laughs, very well done. If you have the chance go see it! If you like movies like The Hangover type, then you'll like this one ;)
A Fun Adventure Despite Technical and Artistic Flaws
This was the first truly bilingual film I have ever seen. No, it's not merely a film where people talk in two languages. It's the first I've seen where the events unfold in two languages and the audience processes them accordingly. I didn't know what effect it would have on me at first, despite knowing both English and Spanish. However, after watching "Compadres", I saw that, if anything, it gave the film a richness that made it fun to watch. Alas, after watching the film, I couldn't help but feel as though I just sat through a six-month telenovela hastily condensed into an hour-and-a-half work: The scope was clearly a grand one, but director Enrique Begne's execution suggested he was well out of his depth, since he botched quite a number of elements along the way. To wit, the editing appeared rushed and scattered, with some scenes leaving out plot-critical shots of items and people that are normally taken for granted in other films. The music was all over the place, ranging from twisted to tender, while an equally erratic score filled the crevices. Additionally, there were actions by the characters in certain scenes, such as Garza randomly kissing the waitress at the diner, that felt out of place; they were probably inserted just to extract a laugh from the audience when, truth be told, they didn't need to. Even the opening title credits looked half- baked, as though they came straight out of a student copy of Adobe Flash. These factors converged to derail the film's tone, leaving one convinced that Begne simply could not decide what flavor of story he wanted to tell. Maybe a glance at Quentin Tarantino's "Jackie Brown" could have helped. And yet... you can't help but immerse yourself in the experience, despite the above lapses in judgment. Omar Chaparro (as the stoic Mexican cop Garza) and Joey Morgan (as the bumbling but good-hearted computer hacker Vic) make for an enjoyably discordant duo, showing that strong characters backed by capable actors do matter. The desolate landscapes and grimy city scenes add to the alienation that slowly grates on Garza and Vic. In the face of relentless backstabbing and setbacks, their budding friendship is the only thing left that they believe in, and that modicum of hope is just enough to push them forward, to search for the truth, to save each other's lives. Said tribulations have their own share of twists and surprises (with competent explanations on the side) to mystify but not confuse. The story that pierces through the poor choices made by the filmmakers successfully keeps the audience in the game and endears the lively cast of characters to the moviegoers. By the end of the film, you'll want to see Garza and Vic head out for another adventure, one you would gladly pay a matinée ticket for. Hopefully, some better production personnel will be in tow.
Has Its Moments But Definitely Not Enough of Them
This Mexican crime caper comedy gets decent performances from its two leads Omar Chaparro and Joey Morgan, and, on occasion, its dark humor works. However, for the most part the preponderance of the movie is filled with strong violence, a number of gross-out scenes, many attempts at black humor that fall flat, and numerous crosses and double-crosses that can get quite tiresome. The plot revolves around a Mexican police lieutenant (Chapparo) who must join forces with a 17-year-old hacker (Morgan) to try and find his kidnapped pregnant girlfriend, as they get caught up in a Mexican mob chase involving millions of dollars. Overall, the film directed by Enrique Begne, just,in my opinion, wasn't consistent enough in what it offered. To me, it seemed to have its moments but then would regress again, and thus the low rating.
An action-movie parody?
Stupid Movie. It has so stupid acting from the protagonists and a script that belongs to a soap opera. If you want to get an idea of this, the protagonist, Omar Chaparro, is a Mexican actor who always plays stupid roles in live shows, in this movie he doesn't do that, he just talks normally, but that's not acting, that's just NOT playing stupid. The other thing that bothers me its that this movie is supposedly an action movie, I mean a serious one, but it turns out to be a parody, it has comedy, some of it it's funny but the big part of the movie doesn't. It has so much stupidity in the script like the part where Chaparro got shot in "the arms" or the scene where the two fellas are laying in the desert, the are being shot from 4 freaking guys with machine guns, and they are literally talking about how many shots they have left on a magnum, I mean, in the freaking desert. This might be a comedy, but definitely not an action movie and not a good one. Te good parts and the ones that might save the movie from being a disaster: Armando Hernandez as the clown, Héctor Jimenez as Guasa, and Cosío as the principal Villain, but they only get a few lines, Cosío only one scene, and of course, they are great actors. Do not waste your time and money and we must demand better quality from our national movies, specially with national and public budget.
Great Movie for those who like Action, Heart, Fart Jokes, and Good Old Fashion Heroes
Just came out from watching this movie and it was freaking hilarious. Even if you do not speak Spanish most of the jokes will still translate a bit on the subtitles...but if you are bilingual then the Spanish jokes will have you going jajaja. This movie is a good old fashion hero cop movie. I don't want to give too much away, but I think that describes it. If you are looking for depth and seriousness this movie is not for you, if you want some action, jokes, and romance go watch this. I certainly feel I got my money's worth for this movie, more than Batman vs Superman. Go watch this movie if you want to relax and take your mind off the world and see some fart jokes.
