Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Interesteg What makes it different from others?
ScoobyMint Disappointment for a huge fan!
Raymond Sierra The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
meliz I found this one on Netflix and was in a "whatever works" mood. So I decided..porque no..Watch this one. It is a silly movie and overall I actually enjoyed it. I did not know what to expect, because I rarely watch Spanish movies. It is not the world's greatest comedy/nor acting, but I still think they managed to make it enjoyable. So - if you are in the same mood as me or just want to watch something easy going, this might be a good option. It is somewhat a low budget movie, but that also makes it silly. What I do like about movies (lets say from Spain), is that the actors are unknown for me (even if they are well known from TV etc in their own country)..and thats a good thing. I cant even tell you how fed up I am with the same overused actors in movies. No names mentioned, no names forgotten. Try it and you might find yourself enjoying yourself for 1.5 hour=)
Michael Ledo This is an action comedy from Spain with English subtitles. A diverse group of "losers" are brought together as a team to train and find a hidden atomic bomb from 1966. It is a diverse group from different parts of Spain and Ecuador. They speak with different languages and dialects which was part of the humor that didn't translate as we saw it all in English. The production pays homage to MIB, Mission Impossible, and Bond and perhaps a few more. The Basque is portrayed as a muscle bound hot head homosexual. The Catalonian is a geek. There is also a dig at Asturias, a place that my grandfather left to come to America.We have seen these loser group films before in one shape or form or another from "The Dirty Dozen", to 'Meatballs" to "Guardians of the Galaxy." They are also fun because we know the underdog is going to triumph. This was no exception, except most of the jokes were like the ones I see on Univison. They are funny to a degree, but mostly don't make the culture line. I did LOL at the elevator scene near the end when one of our heroes pulls out his pen and...Guide: F-word. Implied sex. No nudity. Some sex talk.
kosmasp With a title like this I was half expecting a parody of the very popular Brazilian movies "Tropa de Elite" (also known as Elite Squad around the world, the first of the two movies winning the Golden Bear at the Berlinale). Having said that, this is a movie from Spain, so that alone should have been a giveaway, that my suspicion was completely wrong in the first place.Someone has compared this to Police Academy though and I reckon that is a far better thing to say and expect. While this has a much higher budget than the movies from the 80s, this doesn't mean that it is way superior. I'd even argue that most have fond memories of the Police Academy franchise. Whatever the case, I've seen way worse movies than this being much more successful. So while this isn't really great, I'd say "not guilty" (when it comes to the charge of not being funny)
Mozjoukine You don't often see these sub-titled.After the failure of an elite squad sent into the container depot at night, Minister for the Interior Areces (the lead in BALLAD FOR A SAD TRUMPET) recruits a new team of diverse law enforcers - traffic cop Esparbé (THE ONE EYED KING), a Basque hard man, a Catalan, an Equadorian who passes himself off as a super Spanish patriot and the winning Signora Leon who only had the choice of being a whore or joining the Gardia Civil in Andalusia.Can they prevent the destruction of Madrid? Think POLICE ACADEMY with better production values.The cast are appealing and the film making spot on so we can forgive HEROES WANTED for all the jokes that misfire.
