Terrific and even better than the first Torrente
1 April 2001
Santiago Segura has made it again. He has an unique sense of rhythm, a natural gift for comedy (as an actor, director and writer) and an unusual capacity of extracting acting abilities to non-professional actors. Of course the heart of this movie is this unforgettable character, Torrente played wonderfully by Segura but there are unexpected surprises in the cast: while Gabino Diego is excellent as usual it's shocking to view Jose Luis Moreno (a famous spanish TV showman) playing a James Bond typical villain look-a-like and he succeeds. To the spanish viewers the best part of the film will be the incredible number of cameos that there are: to some TV "freaks" like "Gran Hermano"'s Iñigo, catalonian TV-showman Andreu Buenafuente (reprising his role in Torrente 1) and also some humorists (Manuel Barragan). A great and funny movie. 9 out of 10.
