Embarrassing

Normally even when I don't like the way a movie is headed I will watch it all just in case there is something redeeming. I can't say I could this time. I am a fan of nearly all of the films done from Antonio Banderas but even if it was supposed to be comedy I did not find it funny.Insulting? Yes both culturally and institutionally. I hate to see misinformation passed and it abounds in the movie.I blame the writer mostly and then the director and actors that participated but I guess they were happy with getting paid regardless.Hard pass for me.

Promising premise, but misses more than it hits

A note of caution to anyone who sees the DVD or Blu-ray front cover art and title of this movie, and subsequently thinks they will be getting an action-packed exercise; this is NOT an action movie! The movie instead is, of all things, a wacky comedy. I sort of was prepared for that thanks to the somewhat absurd-sounding plot description on the back of the Blu-ray case, but while I had some preparation, I was all the same disappointed by what I watched. To be fair, the movie gives Antonio Banderas the rare chance to act silly, and his enthusiastic performance is at time infectious. Also, I admit there were a few times when I giggled or even laughed out loud. But the movie as a whole does not work. The main problem is that apart from Banderas, the energy level is often extremely low, and as a result it's hard for any comic sparks to be ignited. Though I feel I should point out that much of the humor is somewhat lazy, familiar, and predictable in nature. The wacky premise should have inspired more and stronger attempts at humor than we actually got. And the plot more often than not moves at a very slow and sluggish pace; you'll soon be telling the movie to simply get on with it. It doesn't help that despite filming on location in Chile, the low budget of the entire enterprise is extremely evident. Despite a few good things to be found, this is one movie you're probably best shying away from.
