Para toda la muerte

A choral comedy that somehow seeks influences in the cinema of Luis García Berlanga and Blake Edwards. The attempt is useless, because the script is poor in ideas and in character creation, and it stretches situations to try to find a humor that it does not find. The direction is also clumsy and without resources (almost all scenes with some internal action are resolved in a general, almost theatrical shot). Nor can the actors go beyond the creation of "masks" in bland and stereotyped characters.

The flick packs rapid dialogue , silly incidents , fun plot twists , tongue-in-cheek , grotesque situations and above all , black humor. An acceptable and funny comedy stars Alberto López plays a young in precarious economic situation in a time of crisis , studying as a civil servant opponent, and after eight years finally seems to get a fixed job .He celebrates with his girlfriend Sonia (Marta Tomasa) , friends and family, however, after celebrating it, they call him from the administration to inform him that it is actually a computer error and that he has remained as the first substitute. He could only get the the right if the one who is in front of him dies . And of course, he atempts to get it , even to become a murderer and as he attempts to kill him when there appears another opponent (Estefania de Santos) but events get worse.

Here filmmaker Alfonso Sanchez delivers a passable black comedy , almost theatrical , though with no originality , in which the main and support cast are frankly decent . Simple entertainment, an unpretentious film with excessive talking and taking a limited concept . ¨Para Toda La Muerte¨ is perhaps the highest exponent , as far as their brief filmography is concerned, of the couple formed by Alberto López and Alfonso Sanchez . It offers interesting elements, it is a fun and light amusement . It is a very amusing , stagy and self-aware film, which develops its strengths and weaknesses in limited scenarios , though with some flaws and gaps , but it is, at the very least, enjoyable. This is a comical and sometimes embarrassing account of opponents who at whatever means attempt to get a vital job , and they will stop at nothing to obtain it , including killing . Sitting in a strange middle ground between the completely absurd and the stylishly cool . This film moves in fits and starts most of which would be desirable and some moments of enjoyment and others quite a few ridiculous . The characters are quite odd , grotesque and geek and the film races on at incredible speed . A hilarious movie , fast , agile in the dialogues , and there are some nice jokes in the film and the cast , playing eccentric characters , make a cosy fit , however they bear a strong Andalucian accents , that's is why being hard to understand them , at times . Alberto Lopez gives a sympathetic acting as José who has spent the various years preparing the exams to become a civil servant in Spain only to receive the news that he did not actually secure his job . This ¨Para Toda La Muerte¨ is made in similar style to ¨El Mundo es Nuestro¨and ¨El Mundo es Suyo¨with several funny and bemusing scenes . Undertaking a criticism of the Spanish society from the personal , social , cultural , and economic perspective , while the protagonists needing all of them , urgently , a good job as ¨State Official¨to resolve their problems . In the film there are strange situations , swift frames , twists and turns ; but it especially contains ample touches of humor and irony . The flick interweaves fun comedy along with a social critical about the deep Spanish crisis ; as well as a little bit of suspense , intrigue and mayhem .

It contains a colorful cinematography by Fran Fernández Pardo . Adding an attractive and lively musical score by Pablo Cervantes . The motion picture was amusingly directed by Alfonso Sánchez at his third movie , being his film debut : ¨El mundo es nuestro¨ and going on ¨El Mundo es suyo¨ . Alfonso is usually a secondary actor , as Cinema as TV , who has played a lot of films in brief but significant interpretations , such as : Ocho Apellidos Catalanes , Ocho Apellidos Vascos , Grupo 7 , Kingdom of heaven , Star Wars episode II , Captain Alatriste , Hospital Central , among others's goal is to sneak into a birthday party. This film ¨Para Toda la Muerte¨ is made to entertain , and this movie , especially for a good time and a pleasant entertainment and it results in a passable yarn . Rating : 5.5/10.
