Der Gegenangriff

Counterattack is a Mexican action film that clearly draws inspiration from the light, fast-paced style often seen in American cinema. Its plot is basic and predictable, built around familiar action tropes, making it an easy and unpretentious watch. While it doesn't aim for narrative complexity or deep character development, the film succeeds in keeping a brisk pace that holds the viewer's attention from start to finish. What makes Counterattack notable is not its originality, but its effort to contribute to a genre traditionally dominated by Hollywood. In that sense, it represents a step forward for Latin American action films, showing that the region can produce entertaining and technically competent works within this format. It may not leave a lasting impression, but it delivers exactly what it promises: a solid and enjoyable action movie to pass the time.

I Found this movie while I was surfing. This movie has a Great plot, also great action, just needs a bigger budget and better lines for the characters to speak, unless it got messed up in the translation. It also needs a part two right away to continue the plot line. It ended with the next movie start right in the story. I would also keep a couple of the actors and actresses that were in the cast, but upgrade most of the actors. Even though, with the mentioned problems, I loved it and watched every minute of it. They need to not rewrite it, just reshoot using exactly the same story line and I would pay to see it.

It has been a long time since most average movies last at least 100 minutes, but this one delivers everything expected in just about 80 minutes. The movie really deserved more time, but don't get me wrong - it is complete. The scenario is engaging, the characters are likeable and realistic, and the action is on spot. The music and sceneries are excellent, enhancing the overall atmosphere. The actions scenes varies and progresses during the movie, but are each time good and adequately intense. While it feels a bit short, you just want more time with it. Despite that, it's definitely worth watching.

Captain Guerrero saves two women from getting kidnapped by cartel members and the women tell them that they witnessed a mass grave so the cartel wanted to silence them. The cartel's leader has a grudge over Captain Guerrero and his team so he plans an ambush on them when they are off duty as well as unarmed. How do these elite group fight their way back to safety while they remained outgunned and outnumbered, forms rest of the story.

Chava Cartas's film is definitely an entertaining actioner which gets into business quickly after establishing the events that leads to the ambush quickly. The elite group is thick and as the story progresses, we get a chance to connect with the younger sharp shooter and the medic while they also establish the group's dynamics. All these provide for the entertainment and the action scenes keep the adrenaline rush pumping.

When comes straight to videos a la Cannon films, Contra Ataque falls in that category.

Ye ve the cheesy dialogue, proud been mexiken army(which they misterious) then important el machismo asking since when Netflix is interested in this here review: The story with a low budget play out average n quite dumb un special forces captain is always behind a drug lords operation sending brother finish him off once kill it became a hunt turned into Carpenter masterpiece Asault in Precincts 13. The action sequences ye know there straight out b class material.

The live or die that's hearings Gun n roses song.

Oh do not forget the victims they find house, get arm up with some good old M16.

The thing like that main bad guy is arm with the heavy of em all, call it call duty thang.

Forgot to mention the final fight with the captain n boss, could be awesome if were a Mexican machete, add some Korean taste.

So conclude the film is pure military propaganda like any other, is the stand off seen in many classic western.

But ye want cheap action to kill the time Go for it.
