Awfully bad.
29 April 2024
It's sad that Hollywood go to such a great length to deliver a bad movie.

They invested a ton on CGI but despite that it looks fake and forced. Everywhere you can see the cheap scenarios, bad acting and a plot that goes nowhere.

Typical new culture values faithfully presented to a fault makes it cliche. We will watch this movies in 10/15 years from now and we'll laugh at this poor attempts to show an ethnic reality that doesn't exist in our day to day lives.

Under no circumstance is watchable movie. I lost a few neurons watching it and I'm trying to save some of yours. Just about it. You've been warned.

Soulless and slow churning
2 October 2023
The photography of this movie is undoubtedly top-notch, capturing scenes in a way that visually delights. However, despite a roster of accomplished actors, none seemed to hit the mark with their performances. A significant chunk of the runtime was dedicated to character development, yet it failed miserably at it. The end result was a cast of characters to whom I felt no attachment, leaving the movie feeling hollow and devoid of emotional resonance.

The pacing was lethargic, making scenes feel stretched out unnecessarily. This sluggish tempo, combined with a consistently somber tone, made the entire viewing experience rather depressing. There were also glaring plot holes that were hard to ignore, especially regarding how the protagonists kept meeting repeatedly, even during curfews. This oversight not only strained believability but also detracted from the narrative's overall coherence.

In conclusion, while the film had the potential to be a cinematic masterpiece given its technical excellence in photography, its execution was fundamentally flawed. The movie ultimately stirs zero emotions and leaves the viewer wanting so much more.

Awful awful awful

Sound and fury signify nothing. LITERALLY!

This is a movie about nothing toward nothing.

Is a sad tragedy not funny at all. This movie is the product of a perturbed mind, should not be a surprise coming from someone who married with the daughter he raised.

The movie is slow and everyone is pathetic definitely not uplifting, no character in the movie has redeeming qualities. All of them losers and if you watch the movie in its entirety like I did you will feel like a loser too.

I am upset so many great actors embarked in this totally forgettable and irrelevant movie. I'm sure these great actors feel cheated of their talent after seeing the end product.

Vengeance (II) (2022)
I feel like I found a needle in a haystack.

What a great movie!

You are masterfully guided into an immersive plot of comic tragedy.

I really want to praise those who write and directed this movie. Yes the acting is bad the photography is amateurish but the editing and the story is so powerful that you will forget about all those.

An amazing story that puts you in the shoes of all Americans mostly good people in both sides with good things to root for.

This is not an action packed movie or a fast plot it probably isn't going to be a classic because it is super dependent on US current state of affairs and divisions.

I will definitely follow those who made this movie places !

Christmas in Mississippi (2017 TV Movie)

3 stars because this movie would help against the most stubborn insomnia.

Extremely slow predictable and cringy dialogs. But my wife who adores all hallmark movies slept like a baby.

Squid Game (2021– )
Entertaining but not great
30 September 2021
I guess is due to culture differences but the cartoonish style and the hunger games like nonsense of the series gets into the way. It could have been much better with less gore.

The Innocent (2021)
Great series. Riveting!
17 May 2021
Amazing plot wonderfully executed. Helps if you are acquainted with the Spaniard culture and the language.

The acting is ok but the story line although implausible is very entertaining.

Overall is one of the best series that I have seen in the last couple of years.

Great movie if you dominate Spanish language

This is a heart warming and very funny movie but a lot would be lost if you depend on the translation.
